Hi all, Andy McC here, 50-something yr old from North Lancs.
My musical tastes have varied over the years but recently I've been enjoying revisiting 80's/90's ambient and electronic.
I'm actually still using gear I mostly acquired in the 90's, I haven't felt the need to replace it, it still does the job :) The main system is NAP72/Hicap/NAP250/Briks, fed by a Mantra/RB300/Elys and a Rotel CD player. I do sometimes feed it from a PC with an E-MU studio sound card, which works well.
My previous main system was a Nytech/ARC101 active setup, which I acquired in the late 80's. However the speakers are long gone, and the CA252 amp is now driving Kan Mk1's on Kan stands. This is fed by a little streamer I chucked together using a Pi and cheap DAC card. This gets my toes tapping quite nicely.
