Let me introduce myself as I have been a member for a long time but mainly lurking ;)
My name is Norman and I live in The Netherlands.
I'm 53 years old and work as an Application Engineer at a small company where we build soft and hardware for a so called "closed financial systems".
This is a system where, in most cases, students have a school-pass where they can put money on their account and use this for secure printing/copying, buying food and drinks in the schools cafeteria or from vending machines.
My daily works exist from supporting these customers if they ran into issues, have questions, need modifications, updates or have new installations.
As I have a weak spot for everything that is UK related (Country, People, etc.) my audio interest lies mostly with English speakers, KEF, Tannoy, B&W, IMF, Linn and Leak audio.
I have owned many pairs of speakers and Leak amps and tuners.
At the moment I have a small but steady living-room setup; Linn Akurate Kontrol/0, Nuforce 9 v3se, Linn Majik DS, Dual 731q, Cambridge CD CXC, Tannoy Berkeley.
The luxury I have is that I have a sort of study where I have a vintage setup: Marantz 4270, Marantz 5220, Sony TA-N55ES, Dual 1229Q, Acoustic Research AR3a.
All my vintage equipment has been fully restored/rebuild and is as good as new.
The project I'm about to take on is a rebuild/restoration of a set B&W DM70.
The DM70 is one of the last speakers I "needed" to have :D
They sound amazing as I recall, the current set is "in pieces" and missing parts but this will be solved in time.
Once I'm allowed to post in other parts of this forum I will open a topic about the DM70 restoration.
Thanks for having me!
Kind regards, Norman
