Greetings from rural NE Leicestershire
Hi,
I'm Nigel. Spent a few years on various forums, Zerogain until it faded away, then AVForums until I got bored and in recent years HifiWigwam where I am still active.
I have lived a few miles NE of Melton Mowbray for 30 years and am originally from Kendal in the Lakes where I got myself an apartment a couple of years ago. I therefore have two set-ups.
In our cottage, listening room = living room so space and aesthetics constrain things a tad but my system sounds lovely to my ears and apparently to many others. Arcam is at the heart of the electronics (A38 integrated, P38 power, CD23T, T32 DAB/FM tuner, iRDAC), Rega RP6 Fono II and Dynavector 10x5 handle the black stuff: all this resides in a 1950s? HMV mahogany gramophone cabinet. NAS and Squeezebox Duet on streaming duty, and everything is feeding on dedicated mains via Isotek GII. Speakers are ProAc D30R bi-wired with Townsend Isolda.
In Kendal, Arcam electronics again, A39 amp as I needed some oomph to drive my Celef LS8 (Stewart Tyler of ProAc side project, BBC LS3/5 style). Gyro SE, Origin Live Encounter arm, Ortofon 2M Black and Modwright-tweaked Jolida JD9 tube phono stage. REL Strata sub I can switch in and out, still experimenting with this.
Photos to follow. Looking forward to exploring the forum.
Nigel (TheFlash)
