Hello all, I've been into music since buying my first singles in 1974! Nowdays I'm pleased that I didnt sell any records from my early days of collecting, just stored the them and the turntable in the attic and got into collecting cds. For last 5 years or so I've been back into lps so the Thorens TD166mk5 came back down and heavily pimped - sounding great through my Krell KAV 500i and Dynaudio Contour 1.8s via a Tisbury phono preamp , and I'm back buying records. I very recently brought a Trans Fi with a Terminator arm, quite a steep learning curve on set up methods...I spent years playing in band and have also done loads of recordings over the years of jazz, folk and other sorts. Listening - really all sorts from the early jazz, right through to the 60s 70s rock and folk - and all styles between and beyond. CD player is an Elecrocompaniet tank. Due to high volume for years I lost some of my hearing.... I thought my critical listening days were over.... but actually, now fitted with Widex hearing aids (same as a Steve Lukather) I realised that its actually got better...anyway, looking forward to see what happens now!
