Just joined and thought I would say hello to everyone on the forum.

 

New member, Prague Czech Republic

Hi, I am from Prague.
Currently listening to Chinese Vincent S3 cdp, Primare Pre30+ A30.2power amp, cheap noname cable, Czech made Xavian Classic Trionfa speakers /two way DApollito design 55liters of air each, Millenium Excel tweeter, some good Seas midwoofer, very hard to drive, high current requirement/
VPI HW19 Junior turntable, with Denon 160 cartridge

¨LIsten to practically everything. Classical on CD, Dire Straits, Alan Parsons, U2 etc 70s-80s, on TT. Tt currently a bit underused.
the primare were bought from the UK, via EBAy, with 40percent off... thinking of ATC in the future, scm35 perhaps? to date, always preferred smaller to medium sized floorstanders.
thinking of going either for a 3 way smaller speaker, like atc or Audio Physic, or abandoning my distrust of monitors.
I consider selling the tt, sadly, it cannot be made, economically, it is not worth it.
regards
Alex nick Coolguy, Prague

Hi Everyone

I've been reading the forums for a fair while now, gaining much knowledge and many laughs along the way - some members do take things really seriously - not that there is anything wrong with that.

Currently in the process of moving house and don't have a proper system at the minute though I'm hoping to sort out a CD player with the wadiameister in the very near future.

Had loads of gear over the past few years, my best setup consisting of:

Wadia 21 CD Player (oh how I regret selling it )
EAR 864 Preamp
Audion Silver Night 300B Pushpull monoblocs
Living Voice Avatar Speakers
Clearligh Aspekt Rack

My most recent setup which I sold a couple of months ago due to the house move consisted of:

Teac VRDS9 (as transport)
Monarchy Audio DIP Classic (great bit of kit if you use a DAC)
Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC
EAR 869
Red Rose Rosebuds
REL Strata III
Solidsteel Rack

Hoping to attain that sort of quality again (though hopefully more cheaply ) over the next few months.

 

My System:

CD Player:
Wadia 6i courtesy of the wadia-meister

Amplifier
Perreaux 200i Classic

Speakers:
Revel M22

 

welcome and hope you enjoy nthe sight...or is that site?

 

hi all

actually lurking here for few years (started from hi-fi choice forum, then joel's groovehandle if i remember correctly), must say that this is one of finest places along pinkfish and tnt-audio to visit
my system consists of italian made fase laserdrive 1.0 cd player (not widely known brand, to say at least, but very fine piece of kit), densen beat b-100 amplifier with mm phono stage (no need to comment on this, i think ) and tannoy profile 633+ speakers (for unknown reasons very underrated speaker from known manufacturer), other bits are some sort of supra/qed/oehlbach wires, technics rs-az6 cassette deck (poor-man's tri-head ), rotel rt-950bx tuner and a project debut II turntable
about music - there is no main genres to name, as i listen to all good music which i can get, but mostly indie/electronica/ambient/dub/world/jazz but those preferences changes by time

 

OK.
Michell Gyro w/ Orbe upgrades and VC power supply/ Origin Live modded RB300 / elys 2 (which has to go) / creek OBH-8 phono stage / cyrus 8 amp + smart power and C8 CD player + psx-r / bi-amped monitor audio GR-10 on mass loaded target stands.

QED Qunex 2 Interconnects
QED Silve Anniversary cables

Dedicated 20A mains

 

Hi from another newbie here.

Currently have
Rega P3 with Linn K9
Arcam Alpha One CDP
Denon TU260L
Arcam Alpha amp (MKII?)

Am about to buy a DPA Little Bit DAC as well to upgrade aging CDP.

Hi to all & Happy New Year

Hi to all

I've had a good look round - a very enjoyable place to be!

 

Welcome to ZG newbies. Hope you enjoy it here.

 

Hi eveyone

Hi, just joined and not had a chance to really have a good look around yet. Usually post in on HIFIWIGWAM.

I am running two systems in my lounge & small home office

1. MF A5 cdp, cyrus 8vs+PSX, Dali speakers (main)
2. Arcam CD82, MF x-150, AVI Neutron iV (office)

cos I have 2 toddlers most of my listening (and interest) is currently locked away in my office

looking to updrade my CD82. which I will post about later.

ta ta for now.

 

Hello all, I joined as soon as I discovered this site. I run a NAS Interspace with Boston Audio 1 mat, a Rega RB250 with Incognito wiring and a Grado Gold cartridge, preamp by VanAlstine, Robertson Audio 4010 amp and Tannoy 12in Monitor Golds in an Altec-Lansing Santana cabinet. I am a longtime member of Audio Asylum and Audiogon, and usually lurk due to time constraints. I'm happy to be here.

Hello
As to my kit, well having recently moved back from Oz and having to leave all my Cds and Vinyl there I now have two systems oone based on my lovely Shuttle computer, lovingly called Zen with a Monitor Adio 1010 delts sound system, quad FM 3, quad 303, a temporary Cambridge amp and AE 120 speakers, most listening on this system by headphones akg and sennheiser 212s. Main system for listening to newly purchased Cds Marantz CD 63 SE, Tag MacLaren Preamp, Elac Jet speakers, Bi amped Quad 405 (Upgraded) for low frequency and two Marantz MA500 for the high frequencies.

I listen to a variety of music but at the moment interested in Jazz trios and quartets. Jacques Loussier freaks me out

 

Welcome!

I hope you find enlightenment and audio nirvana within this forum. I doubt it though...

It is nice to have some new people.

Did you mean M-Audio Delta 1010?

 

New

Hi everbody been reading the forum threads for awhile so now I have joined. There is some characters on here and it is all in good fun and its always nice to have help if you need it. My system at the moment is:
Modded Rotel 965BX Dicrete
Naim Nait 3
Epos Es11s

 

Hi from Blackburn, UK

Hello to everybody

Just registered here, and it looks a lot of fun!, lots of interesting debates.

Details of my elderly system are as follows:

Marantz CD-94 mk1
Marantz PM-94 Digitals (two of these I have a mk1 & mk2)
Linn Keilidhs (with old tweeters & Ku-Stones), passive bi-amped using PM-94's
Technics SL1210mkII & Ortofon Concorde Night Club
Sony TCD-D3 DATman
Marantz SD-60 cassette deck

QED Qnect 4 interconnects & QED Silver Anniversay speaker cable.

My music tastes are quite varied, I love Rock, old Stranglers, The Who, Floyd, The Doors etc. House, Disco & Funk. Electronic & Pop, New Order, Joy Division, Smiths. Indie, Happy Mondays, Primal Scream. Punk, PIL, The Damned, The Cult. Plus lots of stuff in between.

No doubt lots of people would advise me to get rid of the SL1210 however, I use it for playing dance 12" records which it suits fine. For serious listening I use the CD-94.

I've been reading quite a bit about valves and am pretty convinced I am going to take a shot at a WAD integrerated 6550 at some point in the future, not sure if it would work OK with the Keilidhs though.

Cheers

 

welcome Brams.

Unfortunately WAD have recently been taken over by a new company, and it looks uncertain at this stage whether they will be doing kits again. The company that owns them seems more into selling speakers.

You may want to look at http://www.diyhifisupply.com/diyhs_ella.htm or one of the other kit manufacturers for a 6550 based kit.

Cheers
Chris
