Macedon Ranges

Hi

 

I've recently moved from Melbourne to the Hanging Rock area.

 

I'm wondering whether there is anyone on this site in the area?

 

I'm currently building a new house so my system is in storage, and has been for awhile, so I'm hanging out to hear some decent sound.

I'm mainly interested in valve equipment (single ended}, analog/turntables and high efficiency speakers. That said I've just bought some Acoustat ESL that I'll be driving with a high powered solid state amp.

 

If there is anyone in this area who I can meet and have a listen maybe they could PM me?

 

Cheers

Herby

Hi Ian

Thanks for the tips.

I'm really looking to meet others in the Macedon Ranges area that are interested in similar hi fi topics to those that I'm interested in.

Once I get my hi fi room up & running I plan to have a get together but that won't be for 12 months.

Cheers

Hi

We've now started a 12 month build so I'll have my listening room up and running next year.

While I've been system-less I've still been buying vinyl which I'd love to hear soon.

Isn't there anyone in the Macedon Ranges, and further afield, who can let me come around and play a few records?

Cheers

Herby

Ok, the listening rooms up & running, sounding great.

I have a few turntables, amps & speakers to choose from.

 

Supratek/Cymer valves driving Impulse horns & Magnepans. A Garrard 301, Van den Hul cartridge, air bearing arm. Merrill turntable as well.

 

Hoping to meet fellow audio & music lovers in the Macedon Ranges.

I used to live not far from Macedon Ranges and frequently visited. There are even some lovely properties there that i built a few special windows for in the late 80's, lovely place.

 

I'm in the burbs now but should drive up and bring some vinyl and a RtR along.

 

Cheers, E.

Sounds good Enigma.

I am on a small farm out past Hanging Rock, beautiful country.

I'm pretty stretched he'd for time in the first 3 months but might arrange a get together here later in 2023.

I'd love to hear a reel to reel on my system.

I have owned a couple of Revox G36 in my time but the lack of good quality tapes resulted in their eventual sale.

When I plan to do something I'll be in contact.
