Hiya, I'm Steve,
Originally from Manchester but now living in Glasgow. I work for the beeb as a freelance picture editor. Been into hi-fi since the late seventies. My first proper system was JPW AP2, Mission Cyrus mk2 and some model Gerrard record deck with a S shaped arm. Biggest mistake was selling the JPWs
I had Hayden Boardman who sometimes writes for Hi-Fi World refurbish a pair of Leak TL12+s I was given as payment for making a tv commercial for Practical HiFi in Manchester back in the early nineties. Hayden is a great guy and I loved listening to his encyclopedic knowledge of all things valve and retro. I ended up with a pair of Lowther Acoustas to go with the Leaks.
Since then I've been through tons of kit from single ended valve amps to gainclones to class d amps and everything in between.
The one piece of kit that I've kept was my NVA P50 se, holco version. It's a keeper.
At the moment I'm using an Onkyo TRN 626 (don't laugh it uses a darlington output) Sony Blu-Ray player and a Sony SACD player into a pair of Wharfedale 121s using NVA LS1 speaker cable.
Nice to meet you all.
