Hello All. Richard from Suffolk

[richardo]

Hello to all on this forum.
Modern technology is not my strong point.But getting there slowly!
HiFi has always been of interest to me. Some may say an addiction for many years.
I do get enjoyment buying good quality used eqipment. My current system comprises of Shanling cdt 300 and Naim dac. Music first Baby reference pre. Revel Ultime gem speakers.
Modified Shanling sp80c monoblocs designed to take kt88 valves. Bel Canto fm1 tuner. My music tastes vary and have expanded as I am getting older.
Look forward to exploring this forum and sussing out how it all works.

Hi Richard and welcome.
Nice collection of kit you have there.
As for 'expanding musical taste', it is possible to go too far ...I found myself listening to bluegrass this afternoon

Welcome 2 the forum

Thanks for your welcomes. Should have also mentioned that not only my musical tastes are expanding but also my waistline is with age

I know there is something about the vinyl analogue sound Al,but vinyl replay for me is so much hassle and faffle. When I did have a deck and arm I became o.c.d. with all the setting up and alligning,wiping etc. !

Oh it was you that nicked it was it? I wondered where my waist was going, 68 years old or not

Welcome to the forum. Whereabouts in Suffolk are you? I lived in Shimpling, Hartest and Long Melford when I was there. It all seems a long time ago now.

PS Aha!! Just spotted its Ipswich. I worked there when I lived in Shimpling. Great roads for the Alfa every day.
