    Cool Summer is coming !

    Hi everybody !

    Gee, this forum has had a great technical lift ! The new look is just great, congrats to the team and Marco !

    So, I'm having some spare time, I can -modestly- participate a bit more to some hifi/music chatting. And, at least until September, work will not be able to absorb me to the point of not being able to drop here from time to time.


    What are my news ? News are good : all of my bloody work results in some extra money (fortunately ! ) which means... more upgrades to come.

    Firstly, I'll send shortly the amps to Glenn. I'll get a separate power supply for the pre-amp and turn the Power to monoblocks.
    Secondly, I'll get some better speakers, I'll audition some Harbeths next week. I'll come back to this later.
    And lastly, probably I'll exchange my Denon AV and I will go for a X4000 model.
    And... well I don't know what else.

    Well, for a start, that's all folks !
    Time for a beer !
    Dimitri.

    Thank you Marco, for your kind words !

    I thought for a moment that you were going to hijack Daniel's welcome thread, but finally...no.

    No worries, I will do as if I've always been here, AOS is full of people I appreciate, it's easy.

    Praise the Lord - look what the cat dragged in! (hope that translates better than it sounds in English!) Glad to see you are still alive, and really glad to see you back on the forum. Not much has changed, we're still all as daft as we used to be.
