Hi i am Michael and have been interested in music for 30 years and hifi for 20 years or so.

I am a subjectivist and try to trust my ears even though i have a touch of tinnitus. I am a DIY nut and have built pre amps, power amps and a fair few power supplies and filters/regulators.

Current set up is LP12, NVA phono stage, diy passive pre, kit power amp, highly modified Cambridge cdp and MS speakers.

Looking forward to getting involved here.

So is it ok to be a subjectivist round these parts ?

Hello Michael. Welcome to AOS.

A subjectivist point of view is fine. Most opinion here tends to be fairly subjectivist anyway, but all approaches are welcome. The idea is civilised discussion.

If you have any projects on the go or wish to show us items you've built, I'm sure this would be of interest. You could run a blog in the Gallery section or start a thread in the Drawing Board area.

Please feel free to join in the banter. The members are friendly.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi Michael, welcome to the forum.

It is okay to be a subjectivist here, and for those who aren't we have Jez Arkless. :D

Thanks for the welcome.

I am sure i will be posting about my exploits.

It is rather hard to be an objectivist when you dont have any test equipment :)

You have the best 'test equipment'. One on each side of your head. Ears! :D

No, they are wicked, deceitful things that are always wrong when it comes to hi-fi. Work totally fine for every other application of course.

I've always wondered why the designer went for the twin monoblock design there when an integrated would have been a much neater solution.
