Hello From Sunny Jersey

[Darren Cotter]

Hello All,

Just a quick introduction. I’ve been in to audio for about 20 years, and used to have a medium sized NAIM system.

I currently have a small 5.1 setup comprising a Denon AVR 2805, Kef 2005.2 speakers (Kube 2 Sub), Panasonic DMR-EX768 DVD/HDD recorder, Sony BDPS760B Blu-Ray, and Sky HD.

I am in the process of replacing all my mains cables with Mark Grant’s, and would like to get a record player (Rega P3?), and a CD player to replace the Blu Ray with CD playing duties. After that, maybe a slightly more audiophile AV amp, and better speakers.

Regards,

Darren Cotter

Hi Darren, cheers for the introduction & welcome to the forum :) I think you could probably do a lot better than a BD player for CD playback in all honesty, great for BDs obviously but a seperate CD spinner should have the edge given the right investment :eyebrows:

All the best fella, i hope you enjoy your stay :cool:
