Hello from Rhodes- Greece
My name is John Willson and I am a painter by profession. I also like singing so I am a member of two local choirs.I've been a music lover all my life and as a kid, I loved pop rock folk and Greek music, but over the years I started to expand my musical taste to classical, the opera jazz and international music. So in fact, I listen to all kinds of music preferably jazz and classical.
Since listening at the age of 18 to a fantastic stereo system, consisting of a pair of Quad speakers quad tube amps and a Garrard 401 with an SME arm a Shure cartridge I got hooked to listening to a good stereo system and to live music whenever I could. Gradually as my income improved I developed my stereo and I acquired, mostly second hand, some rather lovely pieces.
Now I have a system that I get a real pleasure from listening to.
A Pierre Lurne J4 turntable with a Mission Mechanic arm and a Dynavector XX2 MKII.
A pair of Avantgarde uno speakers
A VAC PA80/80 TUBE amp.A Pass DIY ACA 1.6, made by my wife and a Marantz 1030 from the 70s
A Pioneer cd player.
A SOTM SMS 200 streamer.
A Chord 2qute DAC.
A Whest Audio .20 phono preamp.
A Prometheus Transformer Volume Control Preamp.
As you may realize I mostly listen to LPs and the last 2 years via my streamer to TIDAL and to high definition music downloaded to hard discs.
Thanks again for letting me join your forum.
John
