Just turned 72, battling a major illness, nuff of that.

Been involved in audio since high school but never achieved technical skills.

Got involved in tubes a again two years ago, with the sweet sounding little Eico's HF-12s. Now own a Scott LK-48 restored by a well known Audiogoner.

Am using Audio Nirvana 8: super eight alnico with the Scott, in cabinets that formerly held 2300C Allied Radio drivers.

Own three of Stan's DACs, soon to be four.

Hi Don - welcome to AoS from me :wave:
What music do you like to listen to?

[Alex_UK]

Hi Don - there is something vaguely amusing about being a junior member at your age! And a serial Beresfordite by the looks of it - well, I don't blame you - top products from a top chap - and I have him to "blame" for finding this very forum, when I bought my Caiman almost 3 years ago!

A big welcome to AoS from me - I hope you enjoy the forum - I may be a bit biased, but without a doubt we are the friendliest bunch of hifi nerds you'll ever find! ;)

[MartinT]

Hi Don and welcome to AoS. So sorry to hear of your illness. However, I must ask what on earth you need four DACs for?? One of Stan's is usually sufficient for any one of us!

[John]

Really hope you like AOS
Welcome

Welcome to AOS Don.

Enjoy the forum.

Hi Don, and a very warm welcome to AoS! :)

I absolutely love Scott amps, as they are real classics, and your speakers sound very interesting indeed. Yours must be one of the most vintage systems housing Beresford DACs!

Hope you have a great time here getting to know folks :cool:

Marco.

Welcome to AoS Don.

Nice to have a member who is older than I am!

Some interesting kit you have there; we have one member who would tear your arm off for your Eico amp!

Again it is all true - we are a very friendly bunch of hi-fi nerds but we keep it in perspective, the music is what is really important. Talking of which, what are your tastes in music?

Welcome again

Regards

[Jonboy]

Welcome Don, Scott amps are on my must try lists

[The Grand Wazoo]

Hi Don,
Welcome to AoS. Those guys are all drooling about your Scott but I'm much more interested in the Eico's! I've been itching to get my hands on some Eico gear literally since I was in shorts - it's a very uncommon sight in the UK.
I'd love to hear some more about your experiences with HF-12's.
Cheers

You mean you only wear shorts abroad?

[Alex_UK]

:lol:

[Barry]

You mean you only wear shorts abroad?

I only wear shorts indoors! I wouldn't want to inflict the sight of my bare legs on anybody - the world just isn't ready!

[The Grand Wazoo]

You mean you only wear shorts abroad?

Well, actually, that's a spookily accurate version of my truncated and bifurcated garment using habits.

[Barry]

Is that Wazoo-speak for saying the wearer is a little "broad in the beam"?

[The Grand Wazoo]

Well, not exactly....
What I mean is:

Truncated garment - as in cut-off
Bifurcated garment - as in Y-shaped

But, yes, I am a fat bastard!

[Barry]

I was refering to your saying you only wear shorts "abroad". :)

I think we ought to get back to welcoming Don to the Forum, before we scare him away with our unique banter.

[Beechwoods]

I'll get things back on topic! Have a good time here Don, I hope you enjoy it here, and more importantly enjoy your music, that's what it's all about.

Well done Nick :eyebrows: Yes, welcome to the forum from me as well :)
