Hello people,

sooo, I've been back into hifi for four months now after a very lengthy lay off.
my previous system was purchased in 1996 and comprised of rotel pre/power amps, a Marantz cd63 and a mahoosive pair of tdl rtl3's.

To be honest, i'm a recovering bass head but these days I have swapped dub reggae for jazz and my mind and indeed ears are all the better for it!

my new system is mainly nva and although quite humble compared to many of yours, I have to say , I am one happy bunny!

This is also the first forum I have ever signed up to, so probably will balls up posting/replying etc at some point!
System

amps- NVA p50sa/a30
digital- Denon dcd 520ae

Welcome jack, don't worry about any balls ups, you'll soon get the hang of it.

Sorry Andy, missed your intro, what a lovey system you have. I'm 61 years old and have learnt much since joining this forum and although not the most expensive system I've owned, my present one is the most musically satisfying. :)

Thanks for the welcome Fretless,

I doubt I could have done much better with the budget available, But I think the rega will be the first thing I upgrade.

Hi Doc,

I've been lurking for sometime now, so pretty clued up on how the land lies!

I read the post you made on the history of hifi, very interesting to say the least.
