Many thanks for adding me to this fine group of enthusiasts. I’ve been lurking around in the shadows for some while now. I’m based in Exeter in the South West and have been playing around with hifi for about 45 years. I found valve amps back in the early 80s and have traveled via a Leak Stereo 20 to a pair Quad lls and currently to a pair of self built World Audio Design 300b SETs. Speakers have gone from Celef monitors to self built PRO9TLs to currently Bastanis open baffles. Pre-amp is a recently acquired Herron Audio VTSP-2A, turntable is an Alphson Sonata with HR100S-MCS with a Denon DL-S1 cartridge. Digital is via a Pi with IQ audio hat and CD is a Teac VRDS 10. Hopefully I’ll be able to join in a few conversations. Paul.

Hi Paul,
always great to add some experience to proceedings.
As mentioned you've got some nice kit, undoubtedly honed over a few years so I'd imagine is very much to your liking.

Hi Paul,
Another Alphason fanboy here! I've had the Solo and Sonata turntables in the past. I also own the HR1000S-MCS, currently it's on MM cartridge duties on my Heybrook TT2 turntable, a very nice combo.

Hi Paul It looks like you've had a very interesting audio journey and have honed in on the particular sound that you like best. That's a great way to do it. I've tended to have more of a scatter gun approach! Welcome, I'm sure you'll have lots to contribute here.
