Hi all,
I’m Gareth - I enjoy listening to music of all genres, from baroque to drum&bass and most things in between; although “the wiggles” is featuring particularly heavily at the moment (I do have a three year old son!)
In a former life I did some studio work, a music degree and played in several bands (giving myself tinnitus in the process!) but of late am more of an “instrument owner” than musician...
Having abandoned a half-decent surround system a few years ago (in the interests of domestic harmony!) I’ve now just got a modest stereo that has been acquired in drips and drabs over the last 25 years or so.
My main system is a goldring L75 (currently sporting an ortofon vms), an original pro-ject phonobox and an airport express feeding the NAD 310 that I bought with my first proper pay packet. My speakers are B&O Beovox5000 panels and for quiet listening it’s fostex t50rp headphones via a musical fidelity x-cans (from the tape loop)
I’ve got a few other conveniently named airport expresses (expressi?) connected to old iPod docks, etc to support AirPlay 2 streaming across the house.
Thank you for having me!

Welcome to AoS Gaz! Looks like it's all about the music for you and that's great. :) Playing with the gear is fun though! Enjoy the forum.

Thanks Alex,
You’re right - so long as the music sounds like it’s supposed to when I’m “listening properly” then I’m happy.
Re: gear, I do need to come up with a more elegant way of getting the 1TB iTunes library through the stereo than “mini jack” so that’ll be on the cards soon!

Thanks all for the warm welcome,
@Puffin - did I mention I have a toddler? The timing coincides!
