Hi all,
I'm a regular on PFM and occasional poster on the Wigwam, but keen to try out the AoS forums after hearing a number of positive reports.
My systems are all based around computer and streamed audio, with mostly Naim amplification, but, with a Croft amp currently in the post to me, this may all change soon.
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
Welcome to AoS!
Good to see some more pfm-ers arriving at our humble abode. Hope you enjoy the forum. What Naim kit have you got? I used to have a full system of Naim electronics, before I discovered the wonders of toobs!
Best to get stuck into some threads and get a feel of the place. You'll be assured of a friendly response

Hi John & welcome to AoS - nice that you thought to try it here for a while.
Why don't you tell us a bit more about your systems and musical tastes?

Welcome to AoS John.
We know about the source and amplification, but what speakers do you use?
Again to confirm what Chris (The Grand Wazoo) said, we would love to learn more about your tastes in music.
Welcome again
Regards
Barry
