    Default Greetings from Denmark

    Hei. I signed up yesterday, so I'll just pop in here and say hello for a start. I'm 47 and have been into hi-fi for some years now and do have my "final" hi-fi equipment put together after some years (and money) of upgrading. I'll post pictures of that at a later time. I found this site and choose it because it seems to be an active and serious forum. The Danish forums is become quite inactive these days. I've got the feeling that we were only a handful left on the sites. My interest for quality sound comes for my love of collecting and listening to music. Mainly LP's and the occasional CD (if it's not out on vinyl). I'm looking forward to some interesting threads and maybe be able to give and get some good advice about things regarding hi-fi and music.

    Hi Lars, and welcome. We like pictures here! :-)
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Hello Lars. Welcome to AOS.

    We'd like to know what music you listen to and please tell us more about your Hi-Fi system.

    What equipment are you using and do you have plans for changes?

    System photos are always welcome and there is a Gallery section for them.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hi Lars
    Our education is wrong, it takes no note of the subtleties of human nature, it places more importance on the memory of an individual than how memorable an individual is. Bernard Sumner 1995

    I'll post some pics and write about my system when I figure out how. Got to read the FAQ on that. I listen to different kind of music such as rock, alternative country and the old classics like Bowie, Sade, Peter Gabriel, and so on. But my main music interest is jazz and electronic music. I've always have some interest regarding the last two genres, but it really took off some ten years ago when my system started to sound more like hi-fi than stereo, if you know what I mean. My current hi-fi has a high degree of details and especially jazz recordings and electronic music, both older stuff and brand new recordings, is usually very well produced by people who know what good sound is. When I listen to different kind of music, I found myself focusing on the lyrics or that great guitar solo and so on. It's kind of a mental musical experience that I enjoy. But jazz and electronic music takes me even further: I just kind of flow in to the music as a hole and stop thinking. I don't know why this kind of music has that effect on me, but it's very relaxing. Needless to say I listen to music in the best chair in front of my speakers with the volume cranked up
