Hi just found out about this forum from lurch (John)
So a little about me and my system
I Court the bug from my dad, bought my first system back when I was about 12/13yrs old with money I earned from a summer job comprising of a denon cd & amp with acoustic energy AE 1’s passive stand mounts
Then as my dad upgraded his system I acquired some nicer stuff over the years till I ended up with
Pink triangle Pt1 deck with bluepoint Cartrage
Croft phono
An oto se integrated amp
And living voice auditorium avatar’s
Then over the last couple of years I’ve well and truly splashed out and upgraded
So now at 36yrs old my system comprises of
Simon yorke designs s44 special (specially commissioned 1 off, three armed deck) with 2x s.y.d. Arms (one being the prototype for the other) and a sme309
Currently fitted with
ZYX UNIverse II x /sb2
Benz micro mc3 - vandenhul modified
BB3 spl custom
BAT vk5i preamp
Ear 509 mkii mono block amps
Living voice auditorium avatar’s
And
Auralic Aries femto
Jolida glass mkiii dac
For the digital side of things
Interconnects comprises of
Studio connections - black star rca
Studio connections - reference plus rca
Tellurium q black xlr
Tellurium q graphite xlr
Studio connections - black star pwr cable
Well I think that’s enough for now
Look forward to exploring the forum
Ian

Are you poaching warmers Oli? Ha! I'm not poaching anyone, T. We are here, if people find us, they do it on their own or through a common denominator. |

Hi ianbWelcome aboard, indeed they're not as embittered as they may seem here! Some truly great kit you have there. Also may I extend my congratulations on not being 70yrs old, always happy to see the average membership age dipping back below triple figures.... |
