Hi, I'm another newcomer.
I live in Sussex, UK. I've always been into hi-fi since a little kid and additionally do dabble with audio recording, production and writing occasionally, when time permits...
In terms of hi-fi, as well as the usual streaming and cd/digital sources and some pro-audio 24bit gear, I more recently went back to vinyl, which I'm very much enjoying.
In this respect my system is;
Pro-ject expression iii (carbon arm, acrylic platter) + motor suspension upgrades
Ortofon 2M Black
Custom leads, VdH and isolation plinth etc
Project Phonobox RS
Project Speedbox SE
Arcam A85 amp
Audes Blues speakers
I've been really enjoying this system for some time, gradually accumulating some classic albums that sound great on vinyl.
From the system it's probably apparent the amp has become the weak link now, as everything else around it got upgraded. To that end I'm on the look out for a new amp. A s/h bargain would be nice, but generally on the cards are Rega Elicit-R, Cambridge Audio 851 W and open to ideas on others to audition. Even consider a classic Quad power amp for a good bang for the buck. In first place is the CA 851W so far, but I need to hear these and compare. Probably start another thread on it for further ideas.
Anyway, hello!
