Just wanted to say thankyou to Marco and all the guys at AoS

[Tim]

Well I have just passed 100 posts and a lot has changed for me since joining the forum, so I wanted to say thanks to you all for making me so welcome. Its been a great place to hang out and I have learnt an awful lot since becoming a member.

It's also prompted me to get off my arse and improve things, I am seeing marked improvements without spending a fortune - but I fear I am just about to spend a fortune

It's also encouraged me to try things out and swap stuff around, to see what effect it has, something I haven't done for years. So thanks again guys, a great forum and a great bunch of very knowledgeable and helpful members. My system may only be modest, but it's already better and I have got a great new play-list of artists to research as well.

All good fun innit?

All the best Tim I have had some changes being threatened for about a year that finally came about recently & man am i pleased i took the time out to do them It meant nearly two weeks without my main system, but when it all came together...OMG

Take your time fella, apart from the tunes of course

I do agree, this is the place to be

Good on ya Tim
I must say you get full marks for courage. I have no idea how old you are but if you’re anything like my age, change is always a challenge.

I'm 50 ish John, raised on ELP, Pink Floyd and Genesis . . . and I find everything in life a challenge!

Hi Tim, you realise that you are now suffering from a disease from which you will NEVER recover. You are only as good as your next "fix" and the cost of the "drugs" gets evermore costly. You can reduce the costs by undertaking diy tweaks and upgrades. You can even make your own amps and speakers. Once you start on that road you can kiss goodbye to any normal existence as you sit doggedly bent night after night, day after day, over your soldering iron. The ever pleasant (pun intended) smell of solder fumes is totally addictive, which is a good thing as the hours pass almost as if by magic. There is no known cure.

Enjoy.

Lol, you may be right there - although I'm not so sure about picking up a soldering iron, I haven't done that since I left the Royal Navy . . . and that was a long time ago!

I'm late to this, Tim, but the great thing about AoS is it's a two-way thing and I've learned things from you, too. So here's to the next 100

P.S. I'm fifty-ish too

Nice thread Tim...

I have very similar sentiments, lots of good people on here, opened my eyes to all sorts of interesting stuff, from hardware to software and most importantly the music too.

Even the arguments are reasonably well mannered...well mostly

Just below the 50 radar, but it's not far off...
