Hi all, and yes my first name really is Ward.
From the title you should guess that I spend time in the UK and in France, I'm lucky enough to have different systems at both locations.
The UK system comprises: an Origin Live Resolution classic II with Illustrious Mk3 arm and VdH modified Benz Micro MC3 cartridge, EAR 834P and Graham Slee elevator; an EAR Acute CD; BAT VK5i pre and EAR 509 mkII power amps driving Quad 2905; there is also a Stax 4040 signature headphone system.
The French system is an HP laptop into a Jolida Glass II DAC; an Audio Note CD3 an EAR V20 driving Tannoy Turnberry SE (sat on RFC designed solid Walnut stands) and a pair of Audio Smile super tweeters. The headphones system is a Pure sound HP8 and Hifiman HE500.
Musical tastes are extremely wide ranging and varied but do have an especial liking for blues.
The next planned evolution in the French system is to add a turntable when the right thing turns up
I've been a member on the Wigwam for a number of years under the same user name but feel the spirit over there is changing so fancied trying somewhere a bit different.
