    I'm Andrew.

    Default Evening all.

    Its like Alcoholics Anonymous isn't it? My name is Andrew and I am addicted to hifi.

    For over twenty five years I've been using products by brands including Quad, Pioneer, Technics, Denon, Sansui, Nad, Yamaha, Mordaunt Short, Leak, Wharfedale, Celestion, Mission, Cyrus...
    Well you get the idea.
    I've spent a fair amount of that time buggering around inside many of these boxes, sometimes to good effect.
    I believe that cables make a difference but not with spending silly money on them, quality is the key. To that end I use some odd stuff I was given by a Chubb alarm installerfor my speaker cables.

    Current setup is Pioneer PDS-703, Sony TA-FA30ES, Tannoy E11

    I currently reside near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire.

    I prefer meat to veg, Ale to lager and rock to reggae.

    Music tastes too broad to really define but I will say again that I don't like reggae.

    Oh and I'm a Chelsea fan.

    That's it I think!

    Good to see you here Andrew You might find it slower paced compared to "the other place" but don't let that put you off... Quality over quantity eh ?

    Thats a nice amp you've got

    Hi Andrew, Welcome on board. Btw, There's reggae and then there's reggae a bit like there's rock and then there's rock - trust me on that

    Welcome to AoS Andrew.

    I take we can assume you like to listen to Don Van Vleit (aka Captain Beefheart)?

    Alarm wire eh? Can't imagine that is particularly heavy in gauge. But then, "whatever works".
