Hi All
I've been following AoS for several years now but only recently mustered the courage to formally join.
I've read with great interest many of the posts and have learnt a lot from you guys.
In the case of hifi, I suffer badly from many 'itis': upgrade-itis, box swap-itis, press the Buy it Now button impulsively on fleabay-itis, curiosity gets the better of me-itis and so on. I once thought I could cure it, but after speaking to many hifi enthusiasts, I've been told that there is no cure for this, so I have given up trying to find one. Which is just as well since trying out hifi is and has been great fun....although often wallet wilting. I blame it on a mis-spent youth being dragged around hifi shops and shows by my dad. Mainly Jefferies HiFi in Brighton (now Audio-T) and Reigate HiFi in erm, Reigate (now sadly closed down).
Current (and this may be current for the next few hours or weeks, I just don't know) set up is:
1. Vinyl Passion modded LP12, Audiomods Classic 2 arm, Soundsmith Carmen cart, Trichord Dino phono, LSA Statement hybrid integrated amp and Totem Hawk speakers
2. Origin Live Resolution, Origin Live Illustrious arm, Benz Micro Ace, Trichord Dino phono, Naim Nac82/Supercap/Avondale m130 monos and Penaudio Rebel 3 speakers
3. Oracle Delphi, Clearaudio Satisfy arm, Ortofon 2M Black, Sonneteer Sedley phono, Modwright SWL 9.0se/Bel Canto M300 monos and Aurum Cantus V2M speakers
Shish, did I really buy all that kit? It would have been cheaper to pay for pyscho therapy.
I have wide taste in music, but a real soft spot for female vocals from 70s to modern day.
Anyway, I wanted to say hi and I will keep reading your wonderful posts...although that doesn't help me in the slightest from keeping a lid on my 'itis condition....
ATB,
