    Default Hello from sunny Hartlepool

    Hi everyone
    I was linked to this site on a few occasions from from Pink Fish Media and found some very interesting articles so I have registered and I am interested to learn more.

    I have been interested in HIFI since my early teens around 1973 and I have an interest in DIY Audio and enjoy building and soldering as a hobby.
    I have a picture of my current set up here http://www.flickr.com/photos/6950892...in/photostream and it sound pretty damn good to me even if most of it is DIY. Im no expert BTW just a bodger really

    Best
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    Welcome to AoS. Perhaps you'd let us know what your system consists of & what sort of music you like to listen to?

    Cheers
