    Default Greetings from Sunny Manchester UK

    Greetings All
    I've been blowing cobwebs off my Proac Studio 100s. Previously powered with Quad 99 p amp through a lovely Croft Vitale. I'm in the process of rebuilding set up for my son who is completing a Music Tech degree in Leeds for home recording studio duties when he's on leave. So will try to simplify pre/ power duties with Audiolab 8000a ( blackface). Looking forward to listening to the comparison/ results. Different room 4x5 m sq. with some accoustic treatment bass traps etc.

    Regards

    Hello Kelly. Welcome to AOS.

    You have some nice equipment there. I hope you have fun setting up your son's system.

    Tell us what music you listen to and what plans if any, you may have for your system.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “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.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “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!”

    Forgot to mention diverse music interests include acoustic genres Irish and Americana Old Time eg Tim O'Brien, Bruce Molsky,Jazz ( Blue Note era) Old R&B Frank Zappa etc. Sons interest equally varied leaning towards Twin Peaks, Everything Everything,BBC etc. Haven't got room for much vinyl these days so Thorens deck looking redundant at the moment

    Thanks for warm welcomes all

    Going to give the Croft some tlc deep clean as has been sharing space with wood burning stove for a few years.

    Enjoying getting back into some recording myself but struggling with DAW computer interface. Tempted to find old Revox 4 track tape recorder!
