Hello one and all. My name's chalky (after my deceased cat) and I am a devilishly handsome ex-underwater welder.

I have little to no experience of quality hifi, but I'd like to learn. All I have are a couple of B&W 685s, a Marantz PM6003 amp and a Pioneer PL300X TT, so as you can see, I am just trying to get started, listening to, amongst others, Medical Records, Bowie, Butthole Surfers, Prince and Kate Bush.

The game is afoot, wish me well..
