Greetings from Melbourne, Australia!
Hi all, I have been an audiophile for 24 years. My first system was a bedroom system comprising Infinity Reference 3's which were large 3 way bookshelf's which bent the wooden shelf they were on! and a Nad lifestyle system including one of the first cd players. The Nad system actually had quite a lot of power & drove my Infinity's with authority. That got me started in this hobby & made me an Infinity lover. I sold my old system & bought my 2nd system in 1992 which included Infinity Reference 60 towers, a Nakamichi amplifier one integrated, JVC XL-Z1050 cdp & Standdesign rack. I later added a Technics RS-BX626 tape deck & Cambridge Audio T-500 tuner.
But what got me hooked was a chance visit to Tivoli Hifi in 1991. My brother and I wandered in to have a look & were invited by one of the sales guys to have a listen to a pair of 7 feet Infinity IRS-V's hooked up to massive Electrocompaniet mono blocks. The IRS-V's were Infinity's statement speakers which comprised two lacquered rosewood towers housing 6 x 12" IMG servo controlled bass drivers per tower & two winged towers with a total of 24 emims & 72 emits! The IRS-V's produced incredible sound with ethereal "reach out and touch it" imaging and thunderous bass which mimicked the live event. That was an awesome experience & definitely got me hooked on audio. In 2009 I sold most of my old system & bought my 3rd pair of classic Infinitys; a pair of Renaissance 90's in black ash which I owned for a short while before moving up to a pair of Marten Coltrane Alto's. I also bought a Classé Cap-2100 integrated & Vimak DS-1800 Mk2 dac. I enjoyed this system for another year before replacing my JVC XL-Z1050/Vimak combination with an Ayon CD-5 which was a big step up. Warm, rich, liquid sound with plenty of resolution & bass! My most recent upgrades have added a Boulder 1060 power amp, Boulder 1010 pre, modded Ayon CD-5s, Transrotor tt, Jorma Prime & Origo cables, Taoc racks & various tweaks. I'm also very appreciative to have a terrific Dealer (Boris from Absolute Hi End) who has been great to deal with and helped guide my system's development. It's been a busy year, so i'm just looking forward to enjoying my music & the forum for a while!  Cheers, Bodhi Last edited by Bodhisattva; 08-26-2012 at 02:21 PM. Reason: added info
