Hi. i am Martin - i use Jensen as i used to be a Jensen Healey car owner - for about 20 years. Sadly no longer.

Always been interested in Hfi and never been able to spend any proper money on it. But I have got now, eventually, a 1/2 dedicated room!.

Thornes TD145 (new from 1978!), running a Shure V15 mk V VMS, into a newish Roksan K2BT, into Gale 401a, fully restored about 3 years ago. Also a Marantz universal UD7007 (to reduce box count) CD/SACD/DVD/Bluray player.

Formative years in the 1970s so very much a rock and prog dinosaur with a big symphony and some jazz/rock thrown in too.

Hello Martin. Welcome to AOS.

Hmm. Jensen Healey. My brother had one for a while. He liked it.

The Gale speakers have a bit of a following here. If you have further plans for your Hi-Fi we'd like to hear about them.

There's plenty going, so feel free to join in the chat. The members are friendly.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi Martin, I've always yearned to own an Interceptor but my pockets are way too shallow lol. I really like Marantz kit, nice quality stuff. Welcome to AOS.

Welcome to AoS Martin,

Well if you can't have a Jenson, how about an Aston Martin? ;)

Thanks everyone

Yup Aston Martin would be great, not sure I can sneak that past my lovely wife. I get to sneak other little stuff - who doesn't?. Mind you, of the few people I know who have had an Aston Martin, they all point out that they are not that comfortable for anything more than an afternoon. Most recent I know drives a Rangie every day but swapped his Aston for a Bentley.

Plans for the hifi are mostly in the digitial arena. I have some stuff on an Itunes folder on a USB drive attached to my router. I can get at it from a laptop with Foobar, another netbook with Jriver, the Marantz UD7007 (got that is clunky...) and the Samsung tele. All get routed through either a Dragonfly or a Cambridge Dac Magic 100 intosyste the Roksan amp.

Just picked up an empty Qnap TS-220 to play with.... Would love to get an Inuous Zen system for ripping and playing. Perhaps for my upcoming major birthday....?
