    Cool <David Frost voice> Hello, Good Evening and Welcome

    Main system
    Arcam Alpha 9
    Yamaha DSP-E800
    Rega Planar 1
    Arcam CD73
    Technics ST-Z45L
    Celestion C2 main sp
    Celestion Mission rear sp

    Retro system
    Quad 33/303
    Celestion SL6S
    Pioneer PL-12D

    Most music genres appreciated apart from serious and heavy classics, trad jazz and C&W (there are exceptions even to those)

    I was listening to 'The Classic Experience' compilations today - popular classics.

    Previously: Stones, Bowie, Beatles, Floyd, Caro Emerald, George Ezra, Ella Henderson, Adele, Guns'n Roses, Slash, London Grammar, Amy Macdonald, Paloma Faith, George Ezra, Nina Simone, Killers, Greenday, Rag'n Bone Man, Vivaldi, Imelda May, Katie Melua and many many more......

    As you can see, pretty much everyting is covered. I just love to start a tune in YouTube and let the Autoplay go to get new ideas.
    As a friend of mine once said "You could never guess your age looking at your CD collection"
    I took that as a massive complement

    You can blame Stanley Beresford for me being here. The trail started when I was looking for an audio switch unit form my vintage Quad system as it doen't have enough audio inputs; many moons later I got here and signed up
    Blah! Blah! Blah!

    Welcome to AoS Don,

    Nice introduction, and a commendably broad taste in music you have.

    Love your vintage system - but now I'm giving my age away!

    Enjoy the Forum

    Hello Don. Welcome to AOS.

    By your mention of 'David Frost', I guess you're not a youngster. Many of our members wouldn't really remember him .

    If you have any future plans for your Hi-Fi, we'd like to hear about them.

    I like the retro system. Nice choices.

    This is a friendly place, so just join in and chat with us all.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
