    Default Hello everyone - New Member

    Hi everybody,
    New member here.
    My system has changed a bit over the years. I've currently got a pair of the first ever Tannoy Canterbury 15's (original) which were a one-off pair built for a visit by the Head of Teac (Japanese importer) in 1988. Running these are 2 Quad 303 (one per channel), Audiosmile Mk1 supertweeters, Van Den Hul Array A-1 active pre-amp, 2x Musical Fidelity X10-V3 tube buffers, Linn Numerik Dac, Bluesound Node 2 streamer. All sounds good to my ears.

    Big fan of Tannoy, used to run a pair of GRF-R with 15" HPD's with THEOS upgrade i.e. same as prestige range (before GR). Had this running via an active crossover built by Nic Gorham - sold the cabinets but still have drivers and passive / active crossovers. Also have pairs of original Definition range - D700, D500, D300 plus some HPD 315's that I'm holding on to. Plus a single Tannoy Kingdom Royal (no crossover though unfortunately so just a talking piece).

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Hi Barry,

    Listen to pretty much anything apart from Dance. Range from Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Dire Straits to Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, classical....streaming really opens up the options available. How about yourself?
