Hello all. I have been an audiophile for 30 years. My first system was a bedroom system comprising Infinity Reference 3's which were large 3 way bookshelf's which bent the wooden shelf they were on! and a Nad lifestyle system including one of the first cd players. The Nad system actually had quite a lot of power & drove my Infinity's with authority. I also remember buying my first cd - Genesis 'Invisible touch'. That got me started in this hobby & made me an Infinity lover. I sold my old system & bought my 2nd system in 1992 which included Infinity Reference 60 towers, a Nakamichi amplifier one integrated, JVC XL-Z1050 cdp & Standdesign rack. I later added a Technics RS-BX828 tape deck & Cambridge Audio T-500 tuner. That system brought me a lot of pleasure for 17 years.
But what got me hooked was a chance visit to Tivoli Hifi in 1991. I wandered in to have a look & was invited by one of the sales guys to have a listen to a pair of 7 feet Infinity IRS-V's hooked up to massive Electrocompaniet mono blocks. The IRS-V's of course were Infinity's statement speakers and had etherial "reach out and touch it" imaging & thunderous bass which mimicked the live event. That was an awesome experience & definitely got me hooked on audio.
Over the last 8 years i've sold off my old system & got into high end audio, during which time i've owned 4 pairs of high end speakers, including Ren 90's, Marten Coltrane Alto's, Magico S5's + my current S5 Mk2's, and an assortment of amps including: Classe, Boulder, Ayon & Vitus. Due to having limited space in my loft apartment, I don't have room for an analogue rig. Hence my system is all-digital. Anyway, my rig still has a lot of development to come, but i'm enjoying the journey.
for having me here!

Cheers,
David.
