Manos lives in Athens and he is an editor.
He bought his first system in 1979, when he was 15 years old.
It was a Boss 301pair of speakers, Sansui receiver, Technics tape deck, and Sansui turntable with a Shure cartridge.
What a nice period full of music.
And as he says…
I love music and the hi-fi equipment, so I have searched through the sound in many and difference ways.
I’ve tried electrostatic speakers, magnitostatic speakers with big power amplifiers,, one way speakers with small power amplifiers, active monitor, ect.
After my adventure trough the different audio equipment I could say that my big love was always the tubed gear since I bought the Audio Innovattion 500, that was about 20 years ago.
I have a records collection with almost all kind of music.
The collection consists of vinyl records, cd’s and digital files.
