    I wonder if Hi Fi is more addictive than Landrovers ?? Maybe we should have a poll !!
    I recently went to a Linn Demo night and was completey blown away by their top speakers, I've promised myself a pair if and when I'm allowed to sell the house, only $68k a pair
    The thing I like about Linn equipment is that you can upgrade existing components by adding what they call sneaky modules, so you don't always have to sell to improve your system.

    Bumping this thread. So what's everyone rocking hi-fi or stereo wise. I sold all my gear when I moved from WA to Victoria recently, sold my RP3 and missions. Kept my 304 NAD as I like the sound from it. Looking at an OPPO unit for CD etc. Currently also use Cambridge audio DAC with Mac mini for digital playback and CDs.

    Just sourced a pair of Tannoy Berkeleys and had the caps replaced, bands replaced and covers redone by Speakerbits. Whilst there I picked up a restored Thorens TD160 MKII for vinyl play back.








    HAd Linn Sondek LP12 in the past, this is a nostalgia buy as I grew up listening to Dad's record collection on one coupled with Tannoy Ardens. Same drivers.

    I thought I was the last standing person rocking a HiFi! Still in daily use too!

    The AV system is:

    Samsung LCD TV
    Buffalo HD
    Yamaha Amp/Receiver
    Yamaha DVD/CD
    Yamaha Cassette deck - I assume it still works
    HP Pavilion Computer with NBN
    LG Monitor
    Acoustic Research front speakers
    Solid rear speakers
    Richter Centre speaker
    Cheers

    Not the only one out there. The system I have isnt the greatest ever , Yamaha amp/tuner and speakers with a Project turntable and analogue to digital seperate output , it does me just fine. It has really brought me back to music and vinyl again. With the nature of us moving every couple years and the ringing in my ears , anything top shelf would be wasted on me
    Now for the most part the cars are now the ones collecting dust.

    My garage stereo is a Harmon Kardon stereo receiver with KEF speakers in the garage section and JBL in the electronics workshop. The Harmon Kardon cassette deck hasn't been turned on in years.

    The lounge room has a Pioneer amp (can't remember the specs) with Wharfedale speakers. It hardly ever gets turned on. The TV is not connected to the stereo system.

    Update: The workshop speakers are Acoustic Research, not JBL.
    The Wharfedale bookshelf speakers are connected to the Pioneer audio system. The Wharfedale column speakers are on the TV 7.1 sound system (Sony amp and sub-woofer).

    Bumping, Almost ready to pack up to move out and knock this house down and build our new home. Currently running a Yamaha A-S1100, still using the Thorens TD160mkII and my Tannoy Berkeleys. Plus an extra set of speakers B&W 601 series III and Sangean DAB with OPPO UDP-203 for Blu-Ray, CD, SACD and as DAC for FLAC stored on external drive. I'll keep this but in process of getting a Cocktail Audio X35 to rip, store and stream and run Roon, Tidal etc, pack my CDs away and also rip vinyl as well. In the new build I'm doing a sea container man cave out the back and will move the 601s and my old NAD 302 and AMC power amp out there for listening.

    Real Hifi

    A bit old school! Still listening to hifi I purchased in late seventies.

    Sonab P4000 amp, Polk Audio Speakers, Dual turntable, was reasonable gear in its day and still sounds great. Added piezo tweeters for

    higher sibilance stuff.

    Running computer, for iTunes and you tube , through NAD 3020amp and a very nice, though older, pair of Mordaunt Short speakers.

    Out of interest still own and use a 1966 Vox AC 30 Top Boost guitar amplifier for band work, just like the Beatles! Sensational sound.

    Peter.
