    Now that my interest in something I contemplated years ago has been rekindled............... onward and upward !! I like your implementation, and it has given me a good head start as I journey toward creating my preamp......

    Hello Mark!

    This is a really good website!

    Just like you I have an accumulation of Hi-Fi around the house and have always had this interest for as long as I can remember.

    I have been a fan of the BBC sound for sometime so in my main system I have Spendor SP1/2 biamped with Audiolab 8000C ans 2 x 8000P. This sounds very natural and easy going. I found the internal wiring of the Spendors not that good so I replaced with new heavier wire soldered direct to the crossover and speaker unit tags.

    Upstairs I have (courtesy e-bay) Quad 33/303/FM2 ans Tannoy Mercury M2.5 speakers. The 33 I cleaner up the switches and squeezed the internal multiconnectors closer together to remove an intermittent fault. Next 303 capacitors changed (courtesy Avondale). Finaly for FM2 (a valve/transistor hybrid) a full service from onething audio and a new modern decoder fitted. This set gives a fantastic clean sound punchs but easy to listen too. I also heard more detail on CDs through it. I am not sure now which sytem is best - which proves all Hi-Fi is a compromise. I am still a big fan of the old Quad designs even if there is evidence of cost cutting in the components - you have to respect an amplifier if it is still sounding good at 30 years old! My only other prized Hi-Fi item is a 1/2 track Revox G36 valve tape recorder (serviced a few years ago with only minor component upgrades) which provides fantastic recordings of live broadcasts.

    Good listening
