Hello. In the past I've read several threads on AoS, so it seemed like a good idea to sign up.
Regarding my system: I've just started to get into vinyl again, after a 35 year absence, and bought an extremely nice turntable (Monarch) from Robert Isherwood at Inspire. Who, incidentally, is a great bloke to deal with. Very helpful.
In the past 3-4 years I went through a fairly big vintage amp phase. I bought (and had restored) everything from 1960s British valves (e.g. Radford STA25) to Japanese domestic market only VFETs (e.g. Yamaha B3). However, I have sold virtually all of them, as I needed to recoup some of my money. I have settled on a Sansui B2301L + C2301 combination, and that's what I'm going to stick with.
Speakers are Audio Physics. My big hi fi regret: part exchanging some Boenicke W5 SE+ for a pair of Triangles. The Boenickes were simply outstanding.
Music tastes: well a pretty wide range. I signed up for Spotify a couple of years ago, and their Discover Weekly offering has introduced me to a lot of bands I'd never heard of before. That said, the albums I've played to death in the past couple of years are by Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys. I am also a long standing Goldfrapp fan.
Anyway, I think that's pretty much it.
Cheers,
Mark
