Hi all.
My favourite music is Electronica, but I like all sorts. Jazz fusion, indi. I do still keep on in back to emectronica though. Over the last year I've been really enjoying hi-des audio through a computer. I use it as a music server only and use the Audiophile Optimizer software and Bug Head Emperor. I'm a regular visitor tithe Bleep website where I buy lots of wacky electronica from their excellent collection.
Have have two hi-fi systems. A main one in he lounge and another in the bedroom. Maybe do the lounge first:
Heavily modified Rega Planar 3 - groove tracer subplatter and platter - Origin Live Silver Mk1 (modified) - Isonoe feet - Michael Lim isolation base, thrust bearing and two belt pulley.
Monarchy Audio NM24 tubed dac and linestage (modified).
Slinkylinks cabling throughout (David Irvine from Slinkylinks lives up the road from me!)
Dynavector HX-75 power amp
Dynavector P75 mk 2 phono stage
Epos Es11 speakers restored and re-wired by David at Slinkylinks.
Bedroom system
Technics sl1210 mk3 - modified a bit - tonearm rewire - at-lh18 headshell and counterweight upgrade from speedy Steve - Isonoe feet
Quad 303 power amp - restored - with Net Audio PSU upgrade board
Tubed Pre- amp - is a bit weird - picked it up from a guy in Superfi in Cambden, London. It's not pretty but it' got a lovely MC phono stage.
Cartridges are modified Denon Dl103r and unmodified DL103.
Could add more but I'm sick and in bed so probably going to sleep and my phone battery is going flat!
Keen on an Ianmac bearing, looking at PSU (probably go local), got an Origin Live Silver with carbon tube arriving shortly replacing the technics arm!
