HI from Qualityten

[Qualityten]

Hi All

I'm pleased to introduce myself here. I rediscovered hifi when my rather basic system got irreversibly damaged in an accident 15 years ago.

At that time I was just beginning to discover how the web would transform hobbies like this one. For some years I was greatly helped by the reviews and reviewers on TNT-Audio and I later joined their review team. But work pressures have meant that I've had to give up doing reviews at the moment.

I love vintage hifi and enjoy restoring or building vintage gear. My amps are nearly all valve amps, including Dynaco ST70, Mullard 5-20 monoblocs and some Verdik Qualityten amps. Hence my moniker.

I am fond of idler drive turntables and classic British loudspeakers too. My main deck is a Garrard 301 with a modified SME tonearm, but I have others!

I am active on a couple of other audio forums as time allows, and I hope that I can make a friendly contribution to discussions here.

Hi David, a warm welcome to AoS from me :) Frankly I think we need people who are torch bearers of some of the older kit to keep them going ;) Well done on that score, when knowledge is lost it can be lost forever...

I hope you have a fun & informative time here, all the best to you :cool:

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be happy to go on about how good the old stuff sounds when serviced. I also hope to learn more about computer based audio as my vinyl is beginning to crowd me in. :)
