Big up Mr Firebottle

[alcarmichael]

I'd just like to write a little word of thanks and appreciation for Alan, you may have noticed I've been advertising a fair amount of gear recently, this is due to a house purchase which finally completed on Friday.

I was in discussion with Alan about amps after having his demo AIR power amp on loan for a while in my system (which I would've ordered had it not been for the house purchase) and we got on to the amount of gain in my Croft pre; Alan extremely kindly offered to modify my amp free of charge due to my financial situation. The Croft is so much more usable now after he's tinkered with it, I can have different volumes rather than off or LOUD!

Thank you very, very much Alan, such a kind, generous offer and immensely appreciated. It was great to meet you and Shirley. It was also fascinating to experience your stereo with those stunning looking ESL57's hanging from the ceiling.

Hah ! I was down at Alans place the other weekend Alex . Thoroughly nice people and Alans '' hanging '' speakers are a sight to behold . The system sounds fantastic into the bargain

Alan's a cruel, selfish sonofabitch, only interested in whats best for him.

Naa, actually, he's the opposite of that!
One of life's 'Good Guy's'...hifi wise (and probably anything else wise) he da man.

He's done loads of bits for me and never asked for a penny. He's a gentleman.

+1 always a pleasure dealing with Alan and he is extremely helpful with technical info. Over the last 3 years I have had quite a number of meetings / bake offs / general hifi listening sessions with Alan and they have always been very enjoyable. One of the the true gents on AOS

Since I met Alan he has cost me a fortune. I don't regret it one bit though as my system sounds superb.
His products offer fantastic VFM. His after sales service is second to none.
As others have said, he is a true gent. Shirley is a superb hostess. My only regret is that they moved back to the UK from France.

My dealings with Alan echo those above, and he made buying his phono stage very easy.
