Re: Introduce Yourselves
Not sure really. Although I've spent many years listening to pretty much just CD, albeit through not brilliant equipment, I am not really a big fan of it. I really miss playing vinyl and tape.Ithilstone wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:25 pm Welcome Bill,

I must have a masochistic streak, I seem to enjoy faffing about with stuff, rather than taking the easy option .
I'll probably just get myself to Richer Sounds eventually and listen to a few of their offerings around the £200-300 level. I want to get the analogue side sorted first. I'm not in any rush for the moment, just researching the options.
Oh, and thanks for the welcome messages

I use a 15 year old Cambridge Audio CD5 which i bought new from Richer Sounds. With an AP20 it does everything i want.
Maybe worth checking out some of CA's current CD players.

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Not a sales pitch: but I have found CD more enjoyable since using NVA amp's, not sure if it is because of the passive pre or whatever.William, it was really nothing wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 12:03 am

CD still second to my vinyl, but I can listen to a whole album now without wincing!
By the way, welcome to the forum.

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Welcome to the forum. You might wish to consider ripping your CD collection to FLAC and getting a decent DAC which will not cost the earth. I found that ripped CDs and streams sounded better than my CD player, but I did not have NVA amplification at the time.

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hi to everyone,
My name is Norbert and I'm from Austria.
I've been into this audio hobby for a long time (more than 40 years) mainly to enjoy listening to various kinds of music. As I haven't learned to play an instrument (besides playing air guitar every now and then), listening to music via a dedicated system has become a hobby over the years.
I didn't know about this forum until some weeks ago and honestly have to say, I'm not into forums so much (not enough spare time, I guess and too much into my beloved music ) but around a year ago I had a very positive experience with one of RD's products (the NVA LS6 ls cable) and so I came across this forum.
As it looks to me on a first glance, there is a lot going on here with regard to our hobby!
Nice to meet you!
Norbert

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Nice to meet you too Norbert.
What equipment have you got ? Just being nosey
I suppose some of us spend too much time on forums so i guess we are honoured to have you if you don't have too much spare time.
Lots going on here, no slurping, shilling or though

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Thanks for your nice welcomuing words karatestu!
I had owned quite a bit of equipment over the years, which I think is the fate of many, who have been for some decades in this hobby. Current system: TTs: DIY upgraded Lenco L75 with Schick 12" tonearm and a Linn LP12, Ekos, Lingo from the late 80s. Cartridges: Denon 103 and 103R, AT OCC30 and Music Maker III,... Phono: Graham Slee Revelation MM, ERA Gold MM and EAR 834P, some MC transformers; Preamp: LFD Line stage and a DIY buffer pre similar to the First Watt buffer pre, AMP: DIY First Watt M2 Clone and SE 2A3 Monos, LS: Haigner 3 way Horn LS, Cinch cables: DIY, LS cables: NVA LS6
And you?
Enjoy your music!
Best,
Norbert
