Hello to all members: my name is Paolo Montanari and I am Italian, but for my job is almost last 8 years that I am leaving in India and specifically in Gurgaon.
I am an appasionate DIY about tube amplifiers using NOS tubes like WE 300B, WE 274A, 845 and EL 34 and not only
I am happy to partecipate to this group and learn something from Indian people.
A couple of yers ago, I had a contact with one of the members because he bought from Germany an EMT 927 turn table: sorry but I don't remember the name
I am also the lucky owner of one EMT 927A: the Holy Grail of turn table.
Thanks for admmitting me to your forum

However, you have told that you have an EMT TT and you are a DIYer. Please tell us about your choice of music and your chain(amp, speakers, DAC,etc).

Bhaskar,
Thanks for your welcome,
Are more than 40 years that i am in Hifi passion and as I suppose for all of us I started with very basic system due to financial possibility.
After I moved to study the possibility to build my amplifier and speaker cabinet with support of very expert people in Italy and step by step I realized a single ended class A amplifier with WE 300B and a push pull EL 34 amplifier
Now my system is made by:
Audio Research SP10 Mk2 preamplifier with probably one of the best tube pre phono ever made,
Audio Research Reference CD9
Tuner Marantz 10B
EMT 927 A with pre phono 139 st
Nakamichi Dragon
Reel to reel Studer 80 mk2
Reel to reel Telefunken M15
The speaker is a big Onken enclosure self made with woofer from Altec 515B and multi horn from Klug in Germany with 15 sectors with driver TAD plus super tweeters JBL bullet
As amplifier I am in the process to build a new version of my 300 B single ended class A with different circuit for middle and hi frequency range and a single ended class A 845 tube for low frequencies
In parallel I have designed a multi power distribution unit with specific filters and are under realization the first protos with my brand
For the amplifiers I can work only when I am in Italy where I have my small lab
In all these years I have created contacts of hi end parts suppliers in all Europe and USA plus a huge warehouse of tubes and components: my wife wants to kill me for that
About music I like classic music and also rock
I am not expert of Indian music: normally I can hear when I am driving the car to my office, but I hope the members will help me to start
Thanks and good day
Paolo
