Hello Jack. Welcome to AOS.

That's a lot of equipment. I think you may be even worse than me! :)

You have some nice stuff there. Tell us what plans you have for your system (systems?).

I'm sure you'll find plenty to interest you here. Feel free to join in the chat.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Geoff,
Thanks for the welcome. Yes, it's a lot of equipment. I have become a turntable junkie, and can only listen to one at a time!. But an enjoyable affliction. Listening room will receive some acoustic upgrades, and I am looking at new DACs, most likely one of the Schiit models.
Regards,
Jack

Welcome to AoS Jack.

Don't feel bad about being a bit of a hoarder - a few of us here are as well. :)

Nice taste in music,

Enjoy the Forum
