    Default Hello from Dorset via Sheffield.

    Hi all, been a member for just a few weeks browsing around & getting to the forum so thought it was time for an introduction.
    I am Brook, originally from Sheffield but moved down south about 11 years ago. My driving licence says I am 59 but I am fairly sure it is lying to me!
    Musical tastes are, gosh, so many, but for me Bowie is the greatest, but I enjoy lots of other artists & genre's, Joni Mitchell, Eno, Beatles, early Stones, BT, lots of jazz & ambient, Hawkwind, Zep, Neil Young, I could go on & on.....
    I have had an interesting journey with hifi, starting off with Jap gear in the late '70's, then DJ-ing for a while, then went through the usual LP12, Naim amps etc & settled with a Mitchel Orbe, Unison Research amps & Audio Physic Sparks, which I was happy with for some years.
    Then last year decided to have a change, based on nothing, & my current kit consists of a Aurora Gold TT, Audiomods arm & DV10x5 cart, Firebottle plus phono, Triode 854 Tube amp & Art Moderne 6 speakers, with a slight nod to digital with a MF X-Ray CDP & X-DAC, but mainly vinyl for me.

    Here's hoping to building my knowledge through this site, & getting to know one of two of you!

    Cheers,

    Brook.

    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!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***

    Hello Brook. Welcome to AOS.

    You have an interesting selection of equipment there.

    Enjoy the forum,
