    I'm Alan.

    Default hello

    I'm Alan from Edinburgh and I have several thousand posts at Hifiwigwam as Musicbox (though hardly go there nowadays) and thousands at Pinkfish where I mainly lurk around the classical forum.

    System consists of an Oppo HA-1 Dac/pre-amp/Headphone amp feeding a Lyngdorf SDA 2175 power amp then into 35-year old KEF 103.2s, which have seen off many modern speakers.

    I also have a pair of broken Event Opals which were fantastic until they broke. And a pair of Wilmslow Audio Mercury standmounts which I built 10 years ago.

    Front ends are a Technics 1210 -> Benz Glider-> Ortofon Verto SUT-> Dynavector P75.
    Sony SCD XA5400ES SACD player
    Liv Zen Oppo Vortexbox

    Music choice is mostly all forms of Classical, and Rock

    Still hunting for my ideal speakers, seen something in the classifieds here so that's why I'm posting!.... can I send PM's yet?

    Hi Alan

    You need 5 posts to use the PM system, I think.

    You could easily make that number up by disagreeing with my choices in the classical music section!

    Welcome.

    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!”

    Disagreeing with Jerry's classical choices - that could get me into triple figures pretty quick!

    Actually been quite enjoying some of your late wigwam recommendations Jerry - those Chandos Gregson discs were very enjoyable.

    Nice to see someone into Classical and Rock like me, many (like my old music teacher at school!) think they are incompatible.

    I think there's a bit of a parallel.... I like Big Noisy Rock and Big Noisy Classical - Mogwai/Zep/Muse/Radiohead vs Mahler/Bruckner/Shostakovich/Beethoven.... I think there's quite an equivalence!
