From a time when Hifiwigwam didn’t even exist!.

Here’s a really old photo I found recently from those halcyon days of yore. When life and Hifi was so much simpler. A time before Compact discs, when streaming was some nerdy fantasy.

My first “proper” Hifi system consisted of the following. Starting in a clockwise direction with an Akai 4000DS Reel to Reel, Sony TC160 cassette deck, Bang & Olufsen 3000-2 Receiver, Wharfdale Dovedale Loudspeakers, Garrard401/SME 3009/Shure V15 Mk3/SME plinth, and finally Wharfedale DD1 headphones. Happy times.

I remember the DD1 headphones, great sound (I think) but I looked like I was wearing two teacups 😂

This evening I have mostly been working on listening room ambience 🤫

Reframing and changing around pictures. These are by the street artist Adam Neate.

New speakers settling in nicely. Previously had Focal Scala 2 and Wilson Sasha's and the diamond tweeter in these is something special. Also love the finish in satin white/grey in my newly decorated lounge(y)

I’ve got white speakers myself, I absolutely love how they look. Yours are a league above 👍😊
