Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
Hi folks, I thought i'd say hello to all the members here. This looks like a friendly forum as the site sais. I'm just a pretty humble punter by comparison to some of the awesome systems on here. I own a pair of vintage Infinity Reference 40 speakers, a Nakamichi amplifier 1 integrated, JVC XL-Z1050 cdp & Cambridge T-500 tuner. My cables are Audioquest. My audio buddy told me to jump on here. Think he is hoping i'll get into high end, lol! He has a much higher end system (Vitus/Magico).
Cheers,
Tom.

Re: Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
Hello Melbourne!
I ordered preamp/head-amp made in Melbourne Burson Audio Conductor Virtuoso, it should arrive in two days. 
My first speakers were Infinity Reference and my first cables were Audioquest, so there's some more connection between us
welcome

Re: Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
Hi & thanks for your welcome mate. Over here, "mate" is how we affecitionately refer to our fellow Aussies, esp friends. I'm a little familiar with Burson Audio. My friend had his Ayon CD-5s modded with some Burson discrete op amps. They were the real deal Originally Posted by Mate

Re: Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
I know that you use "mate" in a sense of "buddy"
It's a Croatian version of Matt.

Re: Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
Thanks for the warm welcome Eggmeister. I post a little over at SNA, though mostly I like to read and learn from more senior guys. There are a lot of amazing systems on here! Originally Posted by Eggmeister

Re: Hey all from Melbourne, Australia
Yeah there are a few good bricks and mortar stores in Melbourne, but I bought most of my classic/vintage gear from o/s. I was lucky I bought my amp from a seller in Indonesia, so it didn't need to be converted to 240v, but the rest of my gear I bought from the US. Unfortunately I got into audio too late to buy my friend's gears Originally Posted by Eggmeister

Growing up on a farm and fairly sheltered, the original Shogun series captivated me, and led to a lifelong fascination with the Japanese aesthetic. The new series was excellent. I was expecting high...
