Music is good, isn't it?!!
I like to have music around me as often as possible and I quite enjoy messing about with the bits that I play it with.
My first system was an SP25, Sharp tape deck, Sony amp and some half remembered Wharfedales. The Garrard made way for the first in a long succession of Acoustic Research turntables, a brand which I have always had a deep connection with. Since that Garrard, I've always owned a record player and I spent my late teens and early twenties hoovering up lots of the records that were available for very good prices due to the 'death of vinyl'!
My main system doesn't change very often - I've found a combination of gear that I derive immense pleasure from, so it's very stable. There hasn't been a main component change for a long time now. I augment this with a kind of parallel semi-vintage system which allows me to get another view of things when the feeling takes me. I also have a bit of a thing for old analogue receivers and tuners but the collection has been virtually broken up now, except for one or two hangers on.
Musical taste is mainly rock of a certain age but I also love blues (old and new), jazz and all sorts of other bits and bobs.
