Music & Film

Music and film has always been a strong interest throughout my life. I started buying 45 rpm singles and 33 rpm LP records at age 12. I tried unsuccessfully to learn to play the guitar properly during my teenage years. I began tinkering with the radios, stereo system etc. around the family home at an early age and put together a low-end Hi-Fi system during my teens.

During my 20s I worked part-time in a small 8-track Melbourne studio as a recording engineer. I'm not a regular movie theatre attendee, mostly seeing films via video tape, DVDs. Blu-ray, and these days via online streaming.

• Current Audio Visual System — a real hodge podge
• CD Collection — extensive and diverse
• LP Collection — some real gems
• Blu-ray & DVD Collection — it's a beginning
• Musical Instruments — trying to be a guitarist
• Early Hi-Fi Interest — self-built stereo and speakers
• Recording Engineer — recording and producing music and commercials

Until April 2025, I had a reasonable collection of LPs, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, which was growing at a steady rate. The CDs have been all been converted to a 1+ Tb set of FLAC lossless format files.

And before you even think of asking, none of my LPs, CDs or DVDs are for sale, and I won't make copies of them for anybody.
