    Default Hello

    Hello

    Have been a bit of a lurker here for a while - thought it time to get involved!

    My music tastes are pretty wide and can jump about...currently with some jazz (usual suspects through to the likes of GoGo Penguin) and classic singer-songwriter (Martyn, Drake) sort of leanings.

    System's a Hana cart on a Planar 3 / Slee era gold / Mastersound Dueventi / Shahinian SEs. I'm keen to find ways to get a bit more out of the Rega...

    Look forward to chatting with some of the friendly folk here.

    Welcome, Rick.

    Lots of vinyl fans here.
    And jazz fans.
    Not me, though, for either!

    Nice system you have as well! -- the Planar 3 does seem the weak link, not sure how much you can squeeze out of a simple design like that. Time for an upgrade?

    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!”

    Hi Rick. Welcome to AOS.

    Yes. Feel free to join in and chat with the members, they have a wealth of information and ideas.

    I'm inclined to agree about the Rega. They are great as a starter deck, but there are other options. Upgrades can only take you so far and the total outlay can exceed the cost of buying something better.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.

    Thanks all for the welcome. Funnily enough it was the P3 (one of the new Regas) that set me off on the slippery slope of putting the rest of the system together! I like it a lot - but wise words on upgrades vs upgrades, hopefully some fun to be had exploring.
