Hello every one
Been led to or on this forum a few times but never joined, not sure why!:mental:
Was in south London. Lot of family up north. From doncaster.
Well I moved to the Netherlands a couple of months ago with my lady on a whim haha. So with a lot more time on my hands without work or a flat yet I'd thought I'd better get too it.
Always loved gadgets and audio since the days of my dad's sansui set up in the 80s as a kid, sold most of my records, Kenwood 21 series, cds etc and got into cars.
But when I got 30 I got back into it so been collecting bits for the last couple of years. Both audio and av stuff.
Sadly at the moment with nowhere to put it the kit is in storage :(
Won't bore you with the av stuff and my audio kit is really nothing much but none of it has cost me more than 100 quid bar the record player.
Always buying bits and bobs and trying them so may well change. Also the Mrs' dad is a Dutch audio nut and wants to donate some speaker cable and interconnects he doesn't use don't know what they are but knowing him they will be good. Will let you know.when income out.
So will save all that for a set up thread.
So current storage set up is as follows
Project debut carbon
QED purple interconnects, to.... ( forget which ones but they were freebies and better than the richer sounds ones I had)
Project mm phono box , to.... ( Also I picked up a heed Questar for cheap before I left as I thought the project probably let the system down, tho sounded fine to me. But it was too cheap to say no to.
Cyrus 5 integrated amp ( bought this as a job lot with a dad 3 and also a FM radio but sold these on as didn't like the sound of the CD in comparison to what I have that and it made the amp free :D )
A Denon 3930 DVD player , yeah I'm sure this will upset the purists but I tried some nad's Cyrus and also lesser denons and marantz, but to me it sounded the most clear and open, plus has the benefits of dvda and SACD not that I have loads.)
This is connected with some atlas explorer cables. (I'd love some more of these at not silly money if anyone knows of any)
AUDIOQUEST FLX-SLiP 14/4 speaker cable bi wired to
Some b&w 602 s3
Atacama stands and an old sound style rack which I'll change at some point
Oh and an Amazon echo dot for some internet sounds
Hmmmmm maybe I should have saved that for the set ups part of the forum. But I'd like to do it with pics etc and can't do that till I have somewhere to put it.
So what else about me? I'll pretty much listen to everything, cliché I know. But it varies from rock, classical, hip hop & rap, edm, jazz, folk, blues, disco, soul etc etc.
Anything you wanna know just ask
Hope to get to know folk and improve my system with the help of the forum
Would love to mod the Denon but not sure I have the skills but I'll try anything once haha I can weld a car so how hard can soldering be !:rolleyes:
Anyway have a good day people
