Hello

[lowfi]

About time I said hello. Listen to most genres apart from rap. Started going to gigs in 1974 built KEF Concerto’s in 75 funded by my first month pay. Followed by a Connoisseur bd1 fitted with an arm designed/built by father’s friend which he gave a great demo of. The SME that replaced it eventually really made little difference. Listening to Zappa perverted my youth, too many loud gigs and sound engineer work ruined my ears. But neighbour’s dog barks loud often, so the deal is I play music loud! I have systems in every room and a DAC plus cans are always in my bag….

Hi Pat. Welcome to AOS.

Have you been hiding from us? :D You joined a while ago.

So you had a Connoisseur BD1? Many of us did. I still have a couple, great little units.

Tell us what your main system is and what music you listen to these days.

As you know there's plenty of chat going on about all subjects, so just join in and have fun.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Welcome to AoS :cool:

I have been looking and learning :)

The BD1 was put back into service this Spring after a quick fiddle about fitting new rubber bands! Hooked up to Naim 92/90 and some Castle Severn 2. First play of vinyl in 20 plus years:eek: Might even make a nice new Beech plinth for it and purchase the improved motor mount.

Current main is Naim CD5x 150x 122x Flatcap 2x and PMC FB1. Beresford Caiman Mk2 .

Music: Indie, Folk, Blues, Rock, Electronic and some Jazz. Living in mid Essex I get to see a lot of live music and always try to support local events when I can.

I recently restored/fettled a BD2 for a friend. It came up very well, almost like new.

It always puts a grin on my face using a BD1. That something looking that basic and simple and even crude if you like, can sound so good.

Welcome to AoS Pat,

A lot of people started with a BD1 plus SME, or similar. There was one for sale at a boot fair I visited recently.
