Introducing Myself

Cheers fellas - after my previous introduction was deleted I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention tone arms, but I'm currently listening to a borrowed My Sonic Lab Eminent, an OC9 MkII, a 2M Black, an AT520EB, and a Shure M97xE. Phono stages are Linn Uphorik and Parks Audio Puffin. Creek ALPS volume controls, Linn Tuneboxes, Behringer A500s, active 242ii. I have a second system with DACMagic Azur - Creek ALPS - Behringer A500 - EPOS ES14s.

I've had a hifi problem for about 40 years - I think I bought my Sondek in 1984. My Amadeus was 1400GBP used, my SL-1210 was 200GBP with an RB301 arm from Cash Convertors, and my Garrards were free as they were about to be thrown out! I seem to have accumulated my system on a fairly limited budget - only some of the Behringers were bought new.

If you keep a look out for vintage bargains you can assemble a very nice system for not much outlay.

If you give me the Well Tempered, we can be friends. LOL Welcome.

No deal. The Amadeus is probably my favourite. It's a triumph of good engineering over expensive manufacturing. An engineer is someone who can do for two bob what any fool can do for a quid, and I admire Firebaugh above all the other turntable engineers.

Are there any special forum rules I need to observe as a manufacturer? I still don't really know why my previous introduction was removed. What is the definition of spam? Perhaps that's the line I stepped over.

Welcome from your many new friends here...

I wish you the best there is....
