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

I remember Movement Audio in Parkstone. They also had one in Winton. I was sad when they shut down. They had a lot of my cash back in the day! Not easy to find a proper Hifi shop round here these days.
i recall renting a lovely flat in that incredible place called christchurch . wow wish i could live there now . we had quite a few adventures , including our pet hamster escaping under the floorboards .... we got him back . and also dismantling a very big oliy engine in the ladies shed !!! happy days
