New (old) Audio member
« on: 2 Dec 2015, 05:53 am »
I'm newly here and happy to see all the activity on this forum.

It all began when I walked into a hifi store in Guildford in 1983 and encountered a Linn LP12, Naim Nait, Linn Kan set up playing The Blue Nile "A Walk Across The Rooftops". Blew my mind. I'm still hooked on Brit amps/speakers but none of the above! (Except for the Blue Nile). I favor Stirling speakers, Line Magnetics CD, Quad amplification, Music Hall turntables, DNM wires.

Thanks and cheers.

Wouldn't you love to hear that old system today?  Glad you've found Audio Circle.

Actually, I DID hear that old system again. I even went so far as to buy a pair of Linn Kans to feed my nostalgia. It lasted about one week before I came back to reality and quickly sold them on......I rediscovered the difference between being impressed by an audio set up and actually listening to music on an audio set up.

I have the Stirling ls3/5a V2, which have, much to my surprise, trounced all other small box contenders I have tried.
