Wandering minstrel

Hi to AoS which I’ve had a wee look at from time to time but now happy to contribute.

I’m a Scot from the real “up North” and have been trying to improve my kit since I got a Phillips multi-stacking T/T in my teens. I spent about five years doing this just before and after the kids came along, then another five upgrading my stuff recently. I was a long time Roksan/Naim/Kef 104.2 owner but now have a. ice system based on an Acoustic Signature TT, Esoteric phono and pre, AR DS 450 and a recent acquisition of German Physiks speakers. And also a streaming source with an Auralic Aires and Matrix DAC.

Listening wise it’s pretty eclectic - previous two albums tonight have been Mahler and Bob Dylan!

So Hi from me!

Welcome, Peter. :)

German Physiks speakers - interesting!
I did a review of a pair low down in the range a few years ago (a mere £10k at the time iirc!) for Hifi Pig and was very impressed.
Which model do you have?

I've just now finished listening to Wyn Morris's Mahler 9th, :thumbsup:

Hi Peter, welcome to the forum.

The HRS-130 Jerry. Delighted to provide a review anytime.
The Morris interpretation isn’t one i know so I will try to seek it out. For different reasons I like the Barbirolli and a live Karajan from the early 80s.
I had Rattle/CBSO Resurrection on earlier. First movement only as dinner got in the way but a wonderful performance by an up and coming conductor!

Hello Peter. Welcome to AOS.

I'm sure you'll find plenty to interest you here.

Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Howdy! Welcome to AOS.

Have fun.

Welcome to AoS :cool:

Welcome Peter , nice speakers.

They are indeed. Take a wee bit of getting used to, but I can’t see me changing now.
