Old timer back in the groove

Evening folks

Name is Dave located in Cheshire,was very interested in hi fi 40 yrs ago but amateur radio came into my life and ,well,that was that.
Downsized 1 yr ago from a great radio location to this place and no room now for towers and rotatable antenna so it's back to the old love for me AND I am loving it.

Interested mainly in vinyl,having loads of fun re building a collection.

Have a few black boxes,cd,tuner etc but main system is

LP12 /Nima/Adikt set up by the excellent Peter Swain to

Croft phono amp with TQ interconnects to

Musical Fidelity A300 dual mono intergrated feeding

Spendor A6 speakers

Nothing grand but the sound is pretty good but I am looking to improve.

Hope to learn a bit here (never too old)

Ok,thats the hello so lets go

Hi Dave, looks like you have a nice system there with a few bits of kit I am fond of.:)

Really nice to see another Hi-Fi fan entering the fold.

Hello and welcome :)

Hi and welcome.

What kind of music do you like? I think there are quite a few different tastes round here.
Good luck with getting your kit up and running - but do find time to listen to.

Hi Dave, a fellow Stoke fan by any chance sir?

[hifistokie123]

Oh yes,but son and I let season tickets lapse a couple of seasons ago for a variety of reasons.I do miss the match day excitement but not the agro getting to ground etc.

Hi

Strange for a bald old pensioner but Prog Rock is my main bag although since starting to collect vinyl again I find myself listening to all sorts of stuff.Good fun to be had looking for bargains !

Hi James

Strangely I am considering a change to Croft like yours or maybe a 25r with a pair of mono blocs.
Just considering, but I bought a Croft phono amp some months ago,just the cooking version, and I like it a lot,much smoother than the A300 internal stage so it got me thinking.

Hi James

As it happens I am considering a Croft 25r/7r pair as a hopeful improvement on my old (but nice imho) MF 300a. I just have the feeling that the Linn and the Spendor a6 speakers could do with something "different" Any comments would be appreciated.

Lovely combo... I've had both. I fully recommend it.

It will certainly be different and in a very good way.

I still use a Croft pre. It's an older model, (epoch elite) with mods a-plenty by Glenn. Stunning.
