Hello Folks.

My name is Tom and I am a vintage camera enthusiast and hi fi obsessive from Derbyshire.

After not having a proper hi fi set up for some years, due to lack of time/money/space, I have the following set up:

Linn Axis / K9
Arcam Alpha plus CD player
Tannoy revolution DC4T speakers
Quad Vena 2

Last album listened to : Elvis Costello - King of America

Looking forward to some good natured discussions on kit and music

Tom

It's the Sony centre, not far from Potsdamerplatz, taken in about 2008, with a distinctly low resolution HP photosmart camera. Still like the picture though Tom
