Hi All,

Glad to be here, and hopefully looking to forward being a active a member as time permits.

For those of you who don't know me (I know some do), I run a shop in the North East called HiFi Sound, and a couple of websites (probably best known is www.2ndhandhifi.co.uk) which keep me out of mischief.

We import Magneplanar loudspeakers and Audez'e headphones which are both something a little different from the norm.


My business is essentially an extension of my hobby - I collect turntables, so if anyone has a vinyl related problem I am always happy to try to help...

Regards

Simon

Welcome Simon

Hi Simon, and welcome to AoS. I've visited your 2ndhandhifi site only just recently - excellent layout and the videos are a great idea.

I'm sure you will find lots of interesting threads to join in on - have fun . :)

Welcome from me to Simon :) The more the merrier with the trade members as far as i'm concerned, can only give more choice ;)

I do hope you enjoy your stay, all the very best :wave:

Hi Simon,

Nice one, mate. Glad you found your way in :)

I first met Simon about six years ago, when he was in his old shop in Darlington (a proper old hi-fi shop!), much less posh than what he has now ;) and his knowledge and standard of customer service was second to none.

Simon is rather like hifi dave - a 'proper' dealer, who is basically just an enthusiast like us, but with a shop! He's also very knowledgeable about turntables, particularly the LP12, and loves vintage gear.

So, guys, as I know you will, please make Simon very welcome. In time, he will become a major asset to AoS :cool:

Marco.

Simon can get SPUs?

Ok, noted! He'll be getting the business then when I buy my Meister Silver later in the year :)

Hi Simon, I hear tell in Yorkshire they have real grass and sometimes electricity?

Is it also true that the sun is shiny?

I have so many questions as I rarely venture north of watford because of the wild camels...:fence:

I hope i've got the right guy... 'turntable world' runs from the same address, and they moved from darlington a few years ago.

assuming i've got the right guy, simon has quite a few decks in his personal collection, well over 100... we had and interesting chat
