Hello, fellow enthusiasts!

[Digitalis]

Since my early years, I have been constantly seeking fidelity in the reproduction of recorded and broadcast sound. It compliments my love of music and interest in electronics and audio engineering. I have a large music library comprised of vinyl, shellac, CDs, and high-resolution downloads spanning a wide range of music genres.

The components of my main system are as follows:

• Technics SP15 turntable on SH15-B1 base
• Technics EPA-501 tonearm with 3 x EPU501 arms
• Various cartridges from Ortofon, Shure(78), and Technics
• Dominus Disc Amplifier 3 by Surrey Electronics Ltd
• Arcam T32 DAB/FM/AM tuner
• Music Fidelity M6 SDAC
• Logitech Squeezebox Touch + Acopian linear power supply
• Arcam A32 (used as pre-amp and sub-woofer amplifier)
• Temple Audio monoblocks
• Naim CD5 and Marantz CD4000
• Music library stored on 16TB NAS
• Logitech Media Server 7.9.3 running on Windows 10 desktop
• Qobuz Sublime+ account for hi-res streaming and downloads
• Lowther Deltec loudspeaker enclosures with DX4 drivers
• Rel Storm sub-bass system
• Belden Pure AV speaker and interconnect cables.

Hello Bill. Welcome to AOS.

Interesting line-up of equipment you have there.

I see you are from Watford, it was a bit of a hub for decent Hi-Fi sellers. Not sure what it's like these days. I remember buying a TD150 from Herts Hi-Fi in the seventies .

Join in the chat and get to know the members, they're a friendly bunch.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Welcome to AoS Bill.

Interesting vinyl replay setup you have there. Is your SP15 fitted with four arms? - I cannot find anythig about the EBU501. What cartridges do you use in them? I see you mention shellac records. Are these 78s, and what cartidge do you use to play them?

The Surrey Electronics Dominus 3 is very well regarded as a versatile phono preamp - sadly it is no longer made.
