I've been into Hifi for years but I've recently got a pretty serious system (to me it is anyway).

My current system:

Boenicke Audio W8 Speakers with SwingBase
Roksan Caspian CD Player
MFA Classic V2 Preamp
Nord One SE UP NC500DM Stereo
SRM Arezzo Turntable
Rothwell Rialto
Ortofon 2M Blue
Lumin D1 with Sbooster
Synology DS215j
Van Damme Blue series/Mark Grant

I'm currently going through my collection of digital albums making sure all the metadata is correct and tidying everything up before transferring them onto my Synology Nas. I've completed all artists/groups beginning with 'D' so far! It's going to take years!

I will be upgrading to the MFA Baby Reference V2 at the end of this month. The owner/creator of these wonderful preamps, Jonathan, will be delivering it personally.

I am on other forums but realized it would have made more sense to have used the same Username as I have on them. Oh well.

Wow, some exotic components you have there Anthony...at least they are to me with my Amstrad stack system and Prinz sound speakers :) What sort of music do you listen to you?

Welcome.

I have a very wide taste in music which I'm grateful for: 60s onwards.
I can't stand most music produced today, but there are still good groups around. Forums like this help in finding them.
I do like electronic music and love Kraftwerk.

I like for example:
Joe Jackson
Nirvana
Orbital
Elton John
Cliff Richard
Deep Purple
Bear's Den and their album 'Red Earth & Pouring Rain' (which I came across recently and think is brilliant)
Burt Jansch

I could go on.

Hi Anthony. Welcome to AOS.

That's an interesting selection of equipment you've put together there.

You'll find a lot going on here, so get involved and join in the chat.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Good to see another Somerset laddie.
Not familiar with some of your gear but share your pain re metadata. Thankfully mine’s pretty much done.

Hi Space

Although you are obviously a digital boy we do have some shared interest and I do like the look of those speakers. Drop me a PM if you fancy a beer one evening.

Cheers

Yes, even I'm surprised what music I enjoy.
Have a listen to Cliff Richard's Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile. A great album in my opinion. :)
