Hi from Mel

[Cycleallday]

Hi all,

Been into Hifi for over 40 years and have tried many combinations in that time.

I now have more sense than money so my current setups are all likely to be keepers and are based on

Lounge: Cyrus and Spendor speakers

Garden room (fancy name for a conservatory with a solid roof !): Naim with PMC speakers and Rega deck

Office: Meridian with Falcon BBC LS3/5a speakers used near-field as they were designed and sounding great playing from a Meridian DAC/Mac mini/Synology NAS.

Music room:
(well after 40 years I finally overcame the wifes argument against having a dedicated room for my favorite pastime)

Quad Classic integrated with World Design WD25TXL speakers fed from either Michell Orbe deck with SME V arm/Ortofon mc or Bluesound node.

Now just starting to play with the Raspberry Pi as a source as its a nice cheap option !

Hi Mel

Welcome to the AOS Home for old fogees who like music / hifi :)

Varied equipment you have and spoilt for choice , Do you have a " In the loo system " :D

Hello Mel. Welcome to AOS.

Another veteran Hi-Fi buff I see. There's a few of us here.

Nice variety of equipment you have. Good to have a dedicated room too.

Take a look around the site. I'm sure you'll find plenty to interest you.

Feel free to join in any chat that appeals to you.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks for the welcome - there is a bit of a bias towards UK kit in my collection with only the Chinese built Quad being the real odd one out. It was originally planned to be a World Design KT88 and I even bought the kit. However, I happened across the Quad at a great price and it sounded as good as the reviews I had read so I bought it to fill the gap till I got round to building the KT88. After about 10 years I concluded I was never going to build the kit so I sold it last year and the Quad now stays - at least it was a UK company at one time ;-)

Regarding the loo system Al - What do you think the Pi is for :lol:

Hi Mel, Cycleallday...sound like a man after my own heart. Cycling and hifi...what else does a man need!

I built my own room in half our double garage about 6 years ago...mess?....what mess?

I am in the 3 Counties area on the borders of Surrey/Hants/W.Sussex. Whereabouts are you?

Welcome, Rob.

[Cycleallday]

A bit further west in Andover.

The cycling has got much easier as I have got older - my Brompton now does 25mph without even pedalling !

Living where I do I cannot avoid hills, so I have had to embrace them. If I do a ride without any I feel cheated:lol:

Welcome to AoS Mel,

What do you listen to when you're cycling "all day"? :lol:

Clearly a fan of UK made audio gear (the Quad excepted, though it was, I believe, designed in the UK) :) You are fortunate to have dedicated listening room. What are your tastes in music?
