    Default Greetings from Scotland

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a weary young dad who enjoys listening to hifi mostly in winter once the kids are asleep. I've accumulated some floorstanding speakers that are difficult for little people to knock over, a valve pre and power with no valves visible nor electrocutable by little fingers, a dodgy AR The Turntable that sounds awesome when it doesn't sound wobbly and a DAC or two. I love how music sounds more real on vinyl, but listening to the Chord Hugo last year was very impressive. I love opera, piano recordings, electronic music, Gilles Peterson etc.

    Thank you,

    Wojtek

    Hi Wojtek. Welcome to AOS.

    Loads of vinyl fans here, so you'll be in good company.

    If you have future plans for your Hi-Fi if any we'd like to hear about them.

    There's a lot going on here, so take a look around and feel free to join in any chat that appeals to you.


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

    Thanks Geoff! As a matter of fact, I’m about to seek counsel about whether I have toasted my preamp with some old headshell leads which I tweaked after changing a cartridge whilst everything was switched on.. it’s all gone a little noisy.

    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***
