Where to start - Hi everyone,
I have followed many audio forums over the decades & have been listening to & collecting music since the mid 60s, I discovered Live music worked best for me. I followed local bands around local pubs & clubs when I was old enough (more or less) & then any band I fancied up & down the country.
I discovered Radford valve amps quite early on through a friends friend who ran a small P.A. company with his brother he also had a pair of Tannoy silvers in GRF cabinets + Ortofon SL15E - That changed my life!
So my first real system was Sta15's into GRF's with a Decca London Export which I still have, I have several systems these days in different rooms my other big system is Quad 510's into La Scala's + Ortofon Spu which I've had for over 35 years, Various Dacs & Pre Amps - Its all about the music though, I have a huge collection of various music, I started trading tapes with Americans of live Aud/Sbd pre hiatus Grateful Dead + Garcia Band that was in the late seventies I still play tapes & listen to music most of the time, Reggae & African/World Music is another long term collection.
When things went Digital a computer soon became my main music source Dacs followed when they became available & I still trade Live Music in America.
My other main interest is electronics/audio & I was a friend of Tom Fletcher at the beginning before the Dais was born.
I look forward to receiving help or advise should I need it & if I can help/give an opinion to anyone I will be happy to chip in if I can.
For anyone who has never heard of Sierra Ferrell try utube & see what you think.
Regards deadgrateful
