It dawned on me that I've been a member of this forum since Feb 08 and not made a single post, so Ithink an intro is the best place to start.
I've been into hifi for a long time now and from the early 90's have moved more towards vintage hifi.
I've owned lots of great kit over the years and have a now quite close to having my ideal setup(s).
I am currently using:
Toft LBPA-1 pre into Musical Fidelity 550K monoblocks which drive my JBL Array 1400 speakers
A Cambridge Audio C100 pre into a DPA OS51 stereo single ended PE1/100 valve amp which drives my Westrex 2326A speakers
A neumann W444St pre into an Amcron D75 amp to drive my BTH K10A speakers
Sources are:
EMT 930st / 929 / 155st/ TSD15 or TMD25
EMT 938 / 929 / TSD15
Garrard 401 / Acos Lustre / Denon DL102 or Ortofon S15TE or Ortofo SL15E + 2k - 15k SUT / Surrey Electronics DiskAmplifier 4
Pioneer PD-D9-J SACD
Sony PS1 modded
Cambridge Audio CD6
Pioneer RT707

Other bits are :
Sennheiser HD560's

Also have a nice BTH A1A valve amp and pre awaiting a service.
I have lots of vinyl,mainly classical but my tastes are varied so quite an eclectic mix overall.
