Hello all,
I am new to this forum but not to hifi in general.
I have been a music lover all my life. I bought my first hifi component when I got my first paid job in 1968. Firstly mainly DIY (as much of it was back then).
After my degree in Mechanical Engineering I worked in Noise and Vibration research. This involved theoretical studies and measurements. Back then I had to design several of my own transducers.
I spent a period working for Garrard who made record decks but left them in mid 1976 to design racing cars, which I did until I retired in 2010.
I have a reasonably deep knowledge and understanding of record players and vibration transducers.
I have a basic knowledge of electronics.
I have both amateur and professional experience of making recordings, both analogue and digital, audio and general data.
I have a passion for loudspeaker design, grounded on my early noise and vibration experience, but limited in depth knowledge learned from building my own and friendship with a speaker design consultant.
I spend several hours a day listening to music, now I am retired.
I am not much of a box-swapper, I usually take a long time with auditioning anything before buying and then keep it for a while 15 years is not unusual since I hate comparing sq between items with a passion.
