Newly retired, new house, rekindling an old flame (music)

Hi Tim

Thanks for an almost vote of confidence in the direction I'm going!

Ah, Neary's! Yes, it's an absolute gem. It's on Chatham Street, just off Grafton Street. Dark wood, old gas lamps, no TV, no piped music. Just good pints, good conversation, and a crowd of actors from the Gaiety Theatre next door. I've had some brilliant nights in there – lively after a show, peaceful on a quiet Sunday. One of my favourite spots in Dublin. Highly recommended.

Sounds like a nice result.
I hope they price matched RS on the speakers?

I have a friend who sometimes plays on the open mic nights in Neary's. I think those gas lamps on the bar are some of the oldest working gas lamps in Ireland.

Did I not sound enthusiastic enough? I think that's a great system you've chosen, I could happily listen to it all day long

Brilliant to read, Alistair - glad you've found the right system and I'm quite excited for you! So goodness knows how you must be feeling! I'm, a long time Wharfedale fan (though not had the modern Lintons) and Rega just do it right. I'm definitely interested in looking at the Wiim option, so it will be good to read how you get on with everything in your own place. Have fun! (And let us see some pictures!)

Really pleased you've got yourself sorted Alistair, well done There's a lot of love for Rega's amps, I bet they'll work a treat with the Super Lintons. And it's nice that Derek will be coming round to set up and advise on room treatments - I reckon that'll make the difference between a good system and a great one Looking forward to some pics too.

Kudos to Martin for recommending the selected speaker.

I don't really understand why I have never heard a pair. Probably because I never see Wharfedale at shows, I guess. Or at least notice them if they are there.

Enjoy.

Great choice Alistair. I have heard that exact system a few weeks ago and it is very impressive. I actually use the Wiim Pro Plus and bought the Rega Elex Mk4 recently to use in one of my systems and it sound excellent.

The Super Lintons are fabulous speakers and after listening to them with the Rega Elex Mk4 I may well buy a pair myself!

Enjoy your new system!

[Barry]

Yes, well done in taking your time and coming up with a system which will give you much musical pleasure. Today's going to be a landmark day for you!

We are indeed looking forward to seeing the photographs, and hoping you will post here regularly telling us of the music you are enjoying.
Again we'll done.

Alistair doesn't seem to be listening to us this afternoon, he must be busy with something

Can't think what that might be - gardening perhaps?
