    Default Hi y'all

    Hey everyone,

    My name's trev and I love music.

    I tend to come at it more from the playing-a-musical-instrument point of view, I've played in orchestras and bands for most of my life, but I do have a keen interest in hifi.

    My current system is an odd collection of bits and pieces, but it works for me in the space I'm allowed. My main source is a Peak PT1 turntable into a Rothwell phono stage into a Mission Pres VS2 pre-amp connected to 4 MF Xa 50's bi-amped/quad-amped to Monitor Audio GS10's.


    Make of that what you will ;-)

    Anyhow, great to be here.

    Best

    Well, I was looking to buy a Cyrus power amp to match my CD and pre-amp, a pair of X-powers or a Stereo 200, but I made the mistake of comparing the Stereo 200 (very good, clean, clear mids, tight, deep bass, nice soundstage) to a Sugden A21 sig in Moorgate Acoustics and that was that. There's something about the mid-range that makes me want to keep listening.

    So I've just bought Phil's (hifinutt) Sugden A21se ;-)

    That should scratch the itch.

    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!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
