Hello everyone,
I am Jerry from Preston Lancashire and joined the forum this morning after speaking to, the incredibly helpful and friendly, Stan Beresford about upgrades to my recently bought caiman SEG.
I was asking him advice about power amplifiers and he suggested looking around this forum so here I am.
I am more recently back into hi if and vinyl after a few years absence due to work commitments that have now subsided.
My previous system from 10 years ago involved a Garrard 301 set in a wooden and concrete plinth, Croft pre amp running into a Leak Stereo 20 and PMC speakers with ortofon mc transformers. Alot of that gear and other valve stuff was bought from Haden Boardman who I dealt with for a few years whilst bitten by valves.
I had to sell the gear to raise funds for a business I was co owner of and in recent times, this year, have dipped my toe back in the water and hence am on here.
I currently have a Regar Planar 1 and a Marantz cd 6006 CD player which is run through the Caiman SEG and then via a bantam gold amplifier driving q acoustics 3020 speakers. I also run a battery powered chrome cast through a Beresford switch box which then runs into the SEG.
I also have a naim muso and naim qb streaming tidal music around the house.
Music tastes are varied from Pink Floyd and Van der graaf generator through to Folk and musicals and currently Heavy Rock.
My immediate updates, I think, would be to run the SEG through a more power amplifier with a bit more grunt.
Stan is sorting me out with an upgraded power supply for the SEG.
Thank you and I would welcome any suggestions👍
