Hi
I am sort of returning to HiFi after a few years just listening to my system without really thinking about how to progress it.
In the '90s I settled on a system that suited me and which would probably have cost mega ££££££ to get much better - diminishing returns. I love music but got to the stage where whatever kit I was offered I couldn't hear (my ears I know!) much difference without spending an absolute packet.
Married. Four children and seven grandchildren. Live in Worcestershire UK. I also love motorbikes and fly RC controlled helicopters - not as easy as it sounds - and not at the same time!.
Kit is:-
Deck is a Roksan Xerxes, Artexerxes preamp, Artemiz tonearm, ENT cartridge, Roksan XPS speed controller and DS4 power supply.
CD is Roksan DP1 transport, ROK DA1 DAC, DSU power supply.
Amps are NAIM NAC72 & HiCap preamp, NAP250 power amp.
Speakers are Roksan Ojan 3 on dedicated stands as is the rest if the system (Mana or similar)
I also have a Beard P-100 Signature power amp which I often use instead of the NAP250. I'm not sure if I should do (matching etc) but it seems to work well with the NAIM pre amp and Ojans. I just love listening to music with those valves glowing. I guess I really should get a valve preamp too so will be watching for some tips.
All connected with what were then decent cables but not silly money ones the dealers wanted to sell me!
Anyway, nice to be here and thanks for letting me in.

Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like a very nice system, and as a valve afficionado I can recommend making the leap the rest of the way! 😀
