Good evening,
I am Richard, a long time enthusiast who lapsed and is now planning a retirement system!
I'm a mid end hi-fi person I guess, I started with a creek 4040 / heybrook HB1s / planar 2 in the 80s. Audio Counsel in Oldham was one of the first hi fi shops I remember visiting, and I think I bought the Heybrooks with a cheque that bounced! That is how long ago it was.....and how times have changed!
I can't remember the exact sequence of events, but Naim Nait, Planar 3, Yorkshire HiFi 1-3, Nytech 252, Exposure A1, Linn Kans, Pink Triangle PT Too???, Quad pre and power amp (405???), MS 40 speakers are among some of the equipment I have had over the years.
I have ended up with a few long stored items - original Rega 3 with RB200 arm, Nytech 252, Systemdek IIx 900 with RB300 arm and old Yorks hifi 1-3 speakers. I have a Pioneer AS400 amp and a Marantz CD player in storage somewhere - I have no idea which Marantz it is but it will be mid range!
I listen to everything, but lean towards blues, old stlye soul and R&B. Large collection of LPs and CDs.
I will be asking for advice in another post as I plan a phono only forever system!
cheers Richard
