Well i am simply an independant music producer, audio & mix engineer for the past two decades or so now and before that i was a dj on the side.
My interest in music and audio gear was immediate from first contact and come to think of it my first job was in a mid to high end hifi store, although hifi is not my field of expertise.
Studio gear has been my main thing for the past two decades and i still use racks full of outboard hardware in production, and i always hoped to have the time to begin building my own gear and modifying, but life has been pretty dam crazy for me to say the least.
I have always used a modded Quad 405 mk1 paired with Yamaha NS10s for my monitoring and i have yet to find a reason to change that !
(aside from speakers costing insane amounts of money, money which somehow continues to allude me)

Welcome to the forum. There are some other music business types here already. Some are pretty good with electronics and others not so much. BTW, I still have a pair of NS-10m too. Recapped the internal crossovers which definitely helped the sound; made both speakers sound exactly the same. Although prior to fixing the crossovers did have to change an HF driver too.
Also, instead of Quads, I have Sound Lab large panel ESL speakers for references

Thank you Markw4 ! Good to hear there are others like me here too. Glad to hear that a recap balanced the NS10s, i will need to take a look inside mine at some point aswell, drivers still going strong lol.
Edit : re. Sound Lab ESLs, hopefully i get to hear a pair some day
