I was researching an upgrade to my Turntable and found Graham Slee almost by accident. A bit of research and I ordered a Genera, and am now in process of starting to build a complete Slee Amp / Dac setup which will probably take me a few years :-) Transparency of design goals, being able to have a chat with John before ordering, the ability to start with a kit and learn more about amplification in a day than you would in a year with a pre configured unit, this forum. All standout reasons for me to buy into the GSP club.  
Hang on tightly, let go lightly.

Welcome to the club, Robbie.

There is wealth of expertise and down-to earth-knowledge in this site. Of course knowledge can be a dangerous thing and you may end up spending too much time reading and ultimately too much time spending money!

However, you will be in good company.

A warm welcome from me too.
My GSP adventure started with a Fanfare phono amp, then the Genera, both quite brilliant in their ability to make music.
But as Marsh says, beware, it can all be addictive. Nonetheless I am proud to be the owner of a Majestic DAC, Reflex M and Solo ULDE. I've now stopped worrying about the upgrade disease and my enjoyment of music is now at an all time high. After all the music is what it should all be about.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Thank you for joining our community Robbie. I started with a DAK Novo kit from GSP, and then the DAK Genera when it came out. I agree about the pleasure and knowledge these kits bring, and they sound great.

Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC.

Thanks for the welcomes and warnings . My plan is this:
DAK Genera
DAK Novo
Then a PSU1 driving both
Falcon Acoustics LS3/5A Kit
Link them altogether with Cu50 and Spatia cabling then wait patiently for about 6 months while they all bed in and settle down. Sources will be my old Debut III with 2M Red and my Jolla mobile which has about 50 flac albums.
Only problems I see going forward is my lack of experience with a soldering iron and my old Cambridge Audio A5 which is quite old and won't be in the same class as everything else. Then again, a couple of Propri make a good long term goal.
Hang on tightly, let go lightly.

Good call Ian. Yeah, I have a pair of Stirling Broadcast Kit LS3/5A for sale. They've been sat in their box for weeks now. They've been up on ebay for quite a while but the only response I received for them was from a guy in America wanting to buy them, and I'm not shipping them all the way out there.

I'll show you the listing. They look new and sound really good; I just prefer my K1000, that's all.

Personal collection from Weymouth but if you help me to organise shipping, I could maybe ship to Ireland... Not that familiar with posting large items so I'd need a bit of help.

As long as I end up with at least £400 overall for the pair, I'm happy.
