Evening all - just signed up to hopefully widen my horizons/knowledge in this hi-fi stuff.

Majority of my listening is digital streaming - been using a variety of SqueezeBox Servers for a number of years now - now all Raspberry Pi based.

Also have a healthy vinyl collection which I should try to listen to more often.

Cheers
Dave

Well I'm listening to an Eat Static RadioZora broadcast at the moment - mixture of dub/world music/dance stuff on this one.

On the other hand I like bands like Clutch (off to see them in Manchester later this month), Fu Manchu, The Pixies, The Wildhearts, a whole host of what are classed 'Black/Death Metal' bands.

Then I can listen to Ozric Tentacles, Led Zep, James BlackShaw, Loop.
