As requested, here is my first post !
I have a longstanding interest in HiFi that I 'inherited' from my Dad who sadly passed away 6 years ago. My own, home system consists of a Pink Triangle Export turntable, Rega 300B arm and Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge feeding a Meridian 502 pre-amp and a pair of Meridian DSP33 active loudspeakers.
I must admit that the pressures of family life mean that its not in the best location and would benefit from a bit of tweaking.... maybe a task for retirement.
I have also recently inherited my Dads system after the recent death of my Mum.... and will be posting about this in other threads. This system consists of a Garrard 301 turntable with bespoke home made valve phono stage pre-amp [with discreet valve PSU] directly driving a pair of valve 300B-based class A mono block power amps (again home made) which feed a pair of Lowther TP1-Isis speakers. Additional Meridian-based CD / tuner / pre-amp surround processor / power amp / rear channel [Rogers LS35A] components take care of the digital domain.
I havent the space to home my Dads system so will be trying to sell much of this on over the coming months.... but again. This is grist for other threads.
Music wise - I have a strange mix of 70's pop/rock, 90's dance/house and classical music records. My dad has a collection of over 5000 mostly classical records, many of which I am now listing on Discogs for sale where I trade as Flyguy... if anyone's interested.
Many thanks indeed for your attention, its great to join the community...
