Herbyj Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 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?

Herbyj Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 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 Herby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbyj Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbyj Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 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. Herby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENIGMA Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 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.

Herbyj Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 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.

ENIGMA Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Cool, that will be great. And i still often drive over Mt Macedon (usually have lunch at the cross) and around hanging rock as well as had many picnics there. Will be great to meet up,. Cheers, E.

Assisi Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 As @El Tel say there are a few of us around your area. I did not see your earlier posts. I am forty minutes away from you. It would be good to catch and hear each other's systems. Mine is all digital. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENIGMA Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Looks like Herbyj may need to add a BBQ to his system. I'll bring something to cook on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbyj Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Got a bbq but haven't used it much. We are finishing off the building and re-doing the garden at the moment. Herby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
