    Default Welcome Martin Grindrod

    Hi Martin,

    Martin is of course the founder of AVI and a veritable expert on electronics. For our computer audio aficionados, this is the chap you want to speak to. Amongst many other things of course! We also have his 'boss' Ashley James on board whom I believe is a big fan of audio forums

    Some background info on AVI:
