Well errm, here I am, My name is Paul, I am shortly going to be getting married to the nicest girl I have ever met (Christina) and I work as a IT Engineer.
I live in England and have an avid interst in Hifi and Music. My system comprises of Naim CDI (CD Player) Sony ST-505ES (Tuner) Slim Devices Squeezebox 2 Exposure XVII (Pre-Amp) Exposure XVIII (Power Amp) (Hi Frequencies - Bi Amp'd) Exposure XVIII (Power Amp) (Low Frequencies - Bi Amp'd) Rega Ear (Headphone Amp) Epos ES14 + Dedicated Stands (Main Loudspeakers) Epos ELS3C (Centre Speaker) Epos ELS3's (Rear Speakers) Yamaha DSP-E800 (Prologic Amp thingy) Panasonic 32 Inch Widescreen telly --- Want Plasma ;) Pioneer DV-575A (DVD Player) Chord and Cable Talk Interconnects Cable Talk and QED speaker cables Merlin Power Cables TCI 6 Way Power Block I have been intersted in Hifi and music for as long as I can remember, my Dad is also a massive follower so I picked up some of his old equipment as time went along and it sort of continued from there really. I have only recently got into the MP3 etc scene when I got a IPOD about a year ago. I was so impressed with the idea and then came that fateful day when I was invited over to a friend of mines. He had recently bought a new box of tricks and wanted to show it off. He said something about a Squeezebox, a squeeze what ?. So I went along and oh my life. I was sooo impressed with the little gadget. Not only was it a cool little toy, but it was also Wireless and the sound quality was not at all bad. I went home and got he usual NO from er indoors. But in the end after, well about 6 months of bugging her, she offered to buy me a Squeezebox for Christmas. Now I didn't want the 3 as it wouldn't fit in the hole in the Hifi rack and at the time they only made the Silver ones which wouldn't have worked in my all black system so I went looking on Ebay for a 2. I managed to get hold of one for a very reasonable price which is wired only which is fine as my computer is only in the next room to the Hifi, so was able to dig a hole in the wall to connect it up. After countless hours of converting the music over to AAC and waiting for Christmas Day to come, I now have the system up and running. Ok so the Squeezebox doesn't really measure up to the Naim CD player in quality of sound, but for ease of use, it is well up there and as I suppose the majority of my listening is done while doing other things, that is not a major problem, and it really is a great toy ;) . Well there is a little about myself. Nice to meet everyone here !
