Newbies
The pace of new members joining and introducing themselves seems to be picking up quite quickly, many from overseas too. I'm sure they know a good thing when they see it. I can't say I blame them. I've looked at a lot of Hi-Fi forums, but to me this is the only one that displays some real friendly humanity and humour, not to mention the wealth of seriously useful knowledge available from members. Long may it continue to grow.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

AoS rocks (or rolls if that`s your thing)
Met up with Lee on Saturday and had a good chin wag
His system sounds amazing as well!

I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
