Hello from Scunthorpe!

[Robc66]

Hello everyone!
I'm Rob from Sunny Scunthorpe and have just rekindled my interest in Hi-Fi after selling my original budget system (Manticore Mantra TT, Cambridge P40 amp and JPW P1 speakers) back in the late 90's.

I've just bought a Marantz CD606 UK CD player, B&W606 speakers with a Rega Brio amp coming soon. It's really exciting to be building a new system and hopefully what I am putting together will sound ok (any advice would be gratefully received!).

I have a huge variety of music likes from swing Jazz to AC-DC but love music made with real instruments that make the system shine (swing jazz!).

I've never been a member of a Hi-Fi forum but am an active member on both the Scunthorpe United and Renaultsport forums 😁

I'm looking forward to talking about Hi-Fi with you all!
Rob

I've been through Scunthorpe many times on the Doncaster to Grimsby train and I have to say it was rarely sunny. (My mum lives in Louth.)

Welcome to the Forum!!

Hahaha! Thanks for that Lawrence, I knew you'd be a friendly bunch ���� To be fair, it's not sunny. ��

Welcome to AoS Rob.

Scunthorpe is just as 'sunny' as anywhere else, unless the weather there has changed in the last 45 years. A university mate of mine lived there and invited me to come and stay with him for a couple of weeks. I remember being absolutely fascinated in the way the sky would be lit up at night when they tipped slag - not surprisingly the motto on the town's coat of arms is (I think): "The heavens reflects our labours".

But I digress - nice tastes in music by the way.
