A big hello from The Land Of Fjords, Trolls, And Vikings

Hi people of AoS!

My name is Kjell André, and if the title was not revealing enough. I'm from Norway!

Been snooping around for a couple of days, seems like a great forum Lots of good information and knowledge from what I've read! My currently main setup consists of both new and old stuff:

Sony TA-F830ES/Rotel RA-10
Sony CDP-X707ES
Technics SL-1210MK2 m.Ortofon 2M Black
ASR Mini Basis MKIII
Hegel HD11
JBL 4319
Blue Jeans Cable
Project Ground-it Deluxe

I have owned a handful of turntables the last couple of years, and recently ended up with a near mint SL-1210MK2. And I absolutely LOVE it! The Vinyl adventure began with a Rega RP1-->Clearaudio Concept-->Rega RP6 (stood it's ground for almost 3 years and received some upgrades along the way). I have also owned a Dual 701/1219 and had plans for a Thorens TD-126MK3 restore, but never found the time to actually get it 100%. Oh well, these old decks are in better hands now I think.CD's and streaming are great, but vinyl is my #1 format!. The 1210 might be the main reason I found this forum, lots of great info and discussions on the site and I hope to contribute in the long run

But what does he listen too one might ask ? A lot really. I have a wide range of music in my collection, ranging from cold and dark Norwegian black metal to all types of rock/metal++++

Hello Kjell. Welcome to AOS.

That's an interesting selection of equipment you have. It must sound pretty impressive through those JBLs

Tell us if you have further plans for your system.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thank you all

mik_rik: Ahh Ulver...yes! One my favorites, gritty recording..but thats what captivated me when I first heard the earlier Ulver releases. And yeah..funny you should mention Ulver, managed to get my avatar updated

Walpurgis: Yeah, I have kind of landed on this setup for now. If i would want to try something new...that would be on the DAC-side. But that Hegel really stuck with me trough multiple setups. But first things first, some small upgrades for the 1210 is on it's way and I'm sure there will be more to come :P #1 priority!

Guess I will have to post some pictures of my setup soon, everybody loves pictures!

[walpurgis]

Yeah. Pictures are always good. You could start a system blog in the Gallery area and post them there. I'm sure they'll be appreciated.
