    Default Saying hi, be gentle ;)

    Hey folks, Alan here , Glasgow.

    System is Technics 1210's MK3 x 2 , (1 is audiophile set up in making). Onkyo a9155 Amp, Cambridge Audio DacMagic, Denon DCD590 CD, Pi Streamer off a Synology NAS system, Carts include Stanton 505, iTrack and Ortofon Red 2m. DALI Zensor 3 Speakers, Audioquest Evergreen interconnects throughout. For (previously/occasionally still Djing) I also run Traktor + Vinyl so have KRK's as monitors plus some Ableton/Reason kit kicking around.

    Joining really to get help and inspiration regards my Techy upgrades - right now im adding a Timestep HEIII power supply.. but hiting problems il mention in forum (but if anyone has done it recently let me know).
    Music wise .. broad but real love of Elctronica (inc Good detroit/chicago techno and house), god Prog rock, some old skool country and rock and basically anything that is well produced and musical. Love soundtracks from the likes of John Carpenter and Hans Zimmer.

    When im not listening to music usually you can find me high up a mountain , hopefully hanging on by an ice axe

    A warm welcome. Bringing back good memories of 'Joy' Friday night at the Sub Club back in the day. Danny Tenaglia's 6 hour set at the Tunnel. Friends at 23rd Precinct and Rub-a-Dub in Paisley. Buying shed loads of vinyl. And not forgetting Kraftwerk at Barrowlands - class. Bumping into Orde (Slam boys) at B&Q (!) and thanking him for 'Positive Education' - a track that's as good as any Detroit / Chicago track. The list goes on....

    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!”

    welcome from a film music addict . especially zimmer and richter and m83 and ........... many more
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Eric Bibb
