Hi all, my friends call me Chas.
Like many people, I'm a middle aged child, with a love for comics and music. I was lucky enough, as a teenager to be given an old Leak stereo 20, a cassette deck, and some KEF Coda speakers. That opened the door for me into the wonderful world of the audiophile.
I spend a lot of time (much more currently) listening to music, generally as albums, rather than playlists. I try and listen to 5 new albums a week, but with the wealth of what's available these days, it can be difficult to know where to start.
Taste wise I like quite a varied selection, but my collection has a lot of Reggae of all kinds, Sixties and Seventies Rock, Blues, Soul and Funk, dance music from the Late Eighties onward, and a little classical (I'm slowly building this up). I am currently listening to albums I've had for ages, but which have been neglected. As I've recently upgraded my hi-fi I'm always looking for something new to hear, it brings me immense joy.
As i do not own a TV, I do not have any AV equipment, but my current set up is: -
Pre Amp - Naim Uniti Atom
Power Amp - Naim NAP 200DR
Speakers - Kef R7
Cpeaker Cable - QED Signature Genesis Silver
Digital and optical cables - Audioquest Carbon
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
