Thread: Hi from London

  1. #1

    Hi from London

    Hi all,

    I'm back into hi fi in a big way since I moved into a more permanent home in London and I'm really enjoying all the tweaking. Currently running a Linn Majik DSi into a Nord One UP SE NC500 driving Proac Response One SCs. Also have a Pioneer PL510a for occasional vinyl duties.

    Next upgrade is either a tube pre to go between the Linn and the Nord, or a small, musical sub... or both!

    Look forward to chatting,

    Jas

    Great - thanks hifinutt - I will contact both. You don't happen to know any British tube preamps with remote controls do you?

    Sorry yes - I missed the Sachmo's remote. Will drop both a line. Luckily there's an Icon dealer just 3 miles from me so will head over this weekend - thanks again
