Just a quick introduction really to fellow obsessives ....
Enjoyed music all my life really and found it impossible to resist shiny new toys to make the experience all the more real (whatever that is). In reality I think I'm just a collector of kit like so many others.
Live in Knaresborough, a small town in North Yorkshire, a bit sleepy but picturesque all the same and bloody cold today.
So here's a list of kit that I currently use, sorry hoard - can't really say I have a main system as I tend to listen to it all at some time or another, but I do have too many turntables -
Lenco L59 and Heed Questar into a MF Tri-Vista amp driving a pair of SF Guarneri Memento speakers with a MF CD player doing the digital stuff. Several Thorens turntables doing support duties or substituting the Lenco at times straight into the Tri-Vistas phono input.
Pioneer 868 DVD player and Arcam DAC into Roksan Caspian M2 amp driving a pair of Harbeth PS3ER speakers.
Sony 3000CD player into AVI S21 Laboratory Amp driving a pair of Madison kit speakers.
Thorens turntable into a Naim NAC 42.5, Hi-Cap, NAP 140 driving KEF RDM1 speakers and another pair of RDM1's at the end of a TEAC 600 reference Amp and CD player .....
As you can see a right mishmash of kit garnered over the years and all solid state - I have a hankering to try some tubes but none of my speakers are sensitive enough to do justice to a low powered amp but I think I will go down that road at some point.
Well I think that's more than enough from me and thanks for taking the time to read.
Best wishes
George
