Hi AoS


Have lurked here for a while now and finally got around to introducing my self, so Andy here. Have always loved music and have a wide range of likes although mostly 70's Rock (Zep , Skynard, Sabbath) , reggae and Blues. But also some jazz (Dollar brand, Nina Simone) and world music, I also really like female vocalists.

System currently-

Linn Classik for amp duties
Celestion compact A's
MJ Acoustics Sub
Beresford Bushmaster 2
Notts Analogue interspace SE (mahogany version)
Ageing Kontrapunkt B
OL modded rega 300
NJC Audio headphone Amp
Hifi man 500s
Angle Audio reference 1 phono stage


Have recently acquired some Tannoy HPD 295a drivers and will be looking to build some Eaton clones over the summer , so may well post some gubbins about that in the DIY section in future.

Cheers All. :)

Hi Andy. Welcome to AOS.

Nice system you have there. Apart from your speaker project, do you have any changes in mind?

There's lots to get involved with here. Have a look around and join in the banter.

The HPD 295a units are lovely (I've had five pairs), but they definitely benefit from a bigger cabinet than the Eaton. There are a few people here who could advise you. Not least of whom is Paul at RFC (trade).


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks Geoff,

I would like to add a power amp at some stage and plan to get a new cart later on in the year , maybe a ZYX 100 or something. I'm not one for overnight big bangs changes re Hifi tbh, more evolve over a period of time. It also depends what is available second hand! Having said that I guess we all dream of owning unobtanium kit at times.

Regarding the Eaton's, I chose that design as it's pretty straightforward and means I can test my DIY skills out before trying something more ambitious down the line. Also space is a factor at the moment but hey it's all part of the fun.

I have been in contact with Mr RFC and ordered some crossovers from him for the build, he is very helpful and obviously know his stuff.

Cheers Andy
