My name is Nicky and I am from London. Most of my time is spent sitting at a desk in an office where I move important bits of paper around and occassionally make telephone calls to other people pretty much doing the same thing. When I am not there I am generally listening to music and contemplating political and philosophical things, and trying to fathom my place in the universe from the comfort of a very chilled out sofa in a dimly lit, warm room. On Sunday nights, with icecream.
I first go into hifi in around 1997, when I bought some Cambridge Audio stuff from Richer Sounds. I have since bought and sold a lot of kit. My most recent setup looked like this:
Cyrus CD8SE cd player +PSX-R
EVA II Passive preamp
Bel Canto s300 power amp
Focal 1007be speakers
This setup I found to be dry and bright. I recently sold the passive pre amp and power amp and replaced them with a Bryston 4b SST C powermonster, which I am awaiting delivery of. I also obviously now need a preamp which is why I joined your lovely little forum, to seek your wise counsel.
I like listening to unusual music most, I guess. Original sountracks are good. All rock and pop music. A little hip hop. A little classic. I am into Boccerini at the moment.
Cheers.
