Hello

[brucey1]

Hi guys been a lurker here for a while , thought it was about time I became a fully paid up member .I had a Cyrus pre / mono bloc system with dynaudio speakers until recently but I sold the lot off . I'm now looking to move into the wonderful world of valves , this looks like a good place to pick up some info !

Hi welcome to the AOS scottish massive alan , you can borrow a valve amp if you want
just off the M74

[brucey1]

That would be great mate if its ok with you ?

Hi Alan, just picked this thread up, nice to see you here.

BTW, Scott is a good guy to deal with, should have several amps you could have a listen to.

[brucey1]

Thanks for the welcome guys , this looks like a great forum . It's good to see you here too Ali !

So all know, I used to work with Alan, and didn't even know he was into hi fi. It's a funny hobby this...

Welcome Alan - any friend of Ali's is ok by us, but not a necessity!

So have you got any gear left, or starting from scratch? Hope you want us to help spend your money - we're good at that!

What's your musical preferences?

Hope you enjoy AoS.

Hi Alex I actually sold all my gear off to raise the funds to buy a wood burning stove , I still cant believe i did it ! I took a Cyrus 5 amp in part exchange for my Cyrus pre and I bought a pair of AE Aelite 3 which i got ex dem for a good price . Source wise I have a Rega Planar and a Cyrus cd player so I still have a basic system to listen to .
I listen to quite a varied selection of music , I like a bit of Zepplin , The Doors some classical , Stone Roses , Bowie all sorts really !

As long as you don't stick any of your music on the stove! Make sure you have some furniture, old newspapers or children to burn before it gets to that stage!
