Hi

My name is Dave and I am a Hi Fi addict, there said it......well aren't we all Hi Fi addicts on here?

I have been buying HiFi for around 38 years now and after more system upgrades than I care to think of have ended up in my own Hi Fi Heaven with the following system.

How do I know the system is now perfect? well to my ears? I have been listening to whole albums and not just favourite tracks.

I actually found one recent attempt at an upgrade was one too many and sent it back...

I have more than 700 albums on CD and still find listening to a cd that has not been played for a while sounds amazingingly fresh like the first time I heard it on vinyl.

If you want to know more about how I ended up with this system then try this link:-

RE: My System

Was unable to work out how to paste a picture in sorry, will need help or otherwise just look on my blog, the option here seems to be to put a url in rather than upload from your pc?

RE: My System

Yes, upload your photo to a dedicated website like Flickr or photobucket and then paste the link ending in .jpg into the box that appears when you click on the 'tree' icon on the forum.

RE: My System

Hi

David thanks for that, been a long time in building up to that system about 12 years to be precise from first elemnets in that picture to how it looks in total.

I am tempting fate by borrowing some Chord Company Tuned Array XLR interconnects soon, and am expecting to be sorely tempted to buy them.

Will post more pictures on

 http://www.hifiideas.com/about-me/

 when/if I do.....

 

Ben

Many thanks for the advice, but I do not want to open a flicker account, must admit to being surprised that we cannot upload pictures from our pc.

RE: My System

Hi I have just uploaded some of the technical specification and Bryston material about my Pre and Power Amps onto my blog, hope it is of interest.

Sorry I don not have a flicker account or similar.
