Good afternoon from Leicestershire.

I enjoy hi-fi, but I love music more.

AOS is a brilliant forum with some excellent people associated to it and hopefully TAS will not create a schism as there's enough of those in world religion at present.

I run a multi source system.....a lot of vinyl collected over the last 40 years, CDs, digital etc.
Main system is a pimped up Technics, through a Croft pre, a CA 850a or Quad 405 power amp, to Celestion Ditton 66s.
Also CA 850 cd, Squeezebox Touch and MacBook via a Beresford Bushmaster DAC. (Plus Sony mini disc, Technics cassette deck.etc)

I have a couple of silver age vinyl jukeboxes, a Wurlitzer and a Rockola.

Live music is still a huge passion and I spend far too much time and money (according to my wife) on this, but what the hell.

Cheers
John
