Hello all, I am Paul from Rugby, UK. It was where the odd-shape ball game was invented, but not much else goes on here - slap bang in the middle of England.
My main interest is vintage turntables, particularly Transcriptors and early Michell, which I buy, restore and sell on (eventually) as a hobby. I would describe myself as a music fan and a lover of fine engineering and design, but not really a massive audiophile or purist. Perhaps it is my slowly failing ears (way too many gigs in the 80s and 90s) but to me diminishing returns sets in at a 'half decent' level and I am not rich enough to try and pursue audio 'nirvana'. I do though value a good turntable setup and love to chat to people about turntable projects, hopefully pick up some tips and maybe pass on a few of my own.
My current listening gear:
Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference/Fluid Arm/Shure V15 MkIV or Transcriptor Skeleton with SME Improved/Nagoaka MP11
Musical Fidelity V90-LPS Phono Stage
Yaqin VK-2100 Integrated Hybrid Valve Amplifier
Monitor Audio MA-6 Loudspeakers
