A warm Hello from England which is currently freezing cold.
Ive been looking at this website for a while pondering on joining but then I came upon some info about the B&W DM16 speakers which I found here and am trying to find some for sale! and decided it was time to join.
Ive always had music systems since a young child, I had seperates Sony system at 10 years old! I remember playing my mums records on her turntable, Led Zeppelin, Rolling stones etc and being amazed singing along. Later on I learnt to play guitar and build amplifiers. Im very into the High End audio and have built a fair few amps by Nelson Pass which were pure class-A amplifiers. So messing about with electronics is fun to me, also am interested in recording and have some nice microphones a couple which have been modified with expensive capsules in in order to find the perfect sound ? is that even possible ? lol
Here is one of the first amps I built.

and some of the Hi-Fi I owned growing up

My Current music system is
Jean Hiraga 30w Class-A amplifier modified for 12v
B&W DM23 speakers, trying to find a pair of DM16 as an upgrade!
HTC M8 as source sadly, did have a LG V20 phone which has a sabre DAC and sounded not bad, before that had a Onkyo DP-X1 which was a fantastic little music player. also Had a Prism Orpheus once for recording and playback on a PC/Laptop which was outstanding and reccomend it!
Musicly I love..
Progressive Rock & Fusion 70's, blues, soul, funk, jazz etc
anyways
Thats a bit from me :D
