Hi there!!

It is a pleasure to join this community. I'm pretty new in Hi-Fi world, but my interest in music is very old! Now I was finally able to start with a minimal set-up to to better enjoy this passion, and let's see what the future brings.

My top three desert island disks? Well, it’s really hard to choose only 3, but currently I would choose:

1. Fear Inoculum - Tool
2. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins
3. Violator – Depeche Mode

Maybe tomorrow I will change mind!!! :sweatsmile:

Greetings, very excited to reconnect with my Hifi after 20+ years. All the gear (maybe) and some idea is where I am.

Hi everyone. Glad to join you all here. I recently moved back to the UK after living abroad for many years and I’ve really started to enjoy listening to music again now that I’m living in a house rather than a city centre apartment with lots of close neighbours.

I’d say my three desert island albums would be:
- Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
- Miles Davis - A Tribute To Jack Johnson
- Benjamin Britten - War Requiem (the wonderful Decca recording conducted by Britten himself)

Welcome! You're now one ahead of me in the 40 years -or my 2-integrated amps-based systems with a few occasionally changed components -though also still using an only-second CD player/changer.

Hi, I'm Lindsay and have been a music fan since my dad introduced me to his music when I was around 11! The passion has only grown stronger and stronger, and it's almost obsessive — I love making music lists, designing themed playlists and learning about what makes the good music (to my ears) actually SOUND good: leading me to delve into both music theory and hi-fi audiophile-dom. I know I still have gotta lot to catch up on, but a recent Sennheiser 800S purchase was my starting point and has led me to here :)

My three desert island discs are definitely
1 Close to the Edge - Yes
2 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
3 Hybris - Änglagård

Recommend prog that sounds great on hi-fi headphones!

Hi everyone. I almost chose a career in classical music (clarinet), sang opera at Covent Garden ... and played keyboards to accompany an electric violinist playing Chris de Burgh songs in a restaurant in Tirana (Albania). So my musical tastes are somewhat varied.

Only 3 albums ... well I guess it would have to be:

Marillion - The Thieving Magpie
Brahms - Ein deutsches requiem (hard to select which recording)
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Muse - Absolution

Yes I know there are 4, I will hide one inside the wrong CD case :)

I use a Brennan B3 at home as my jukebox, a Naim Muso speaker, but tend to listen on the go mostly with Focal Bathys cans and an Astell+Kern 25 MkII DAP ... still trying to work out the best connection for those two (although the wireless is pretty decent).
