Stranger in a strange land

[Seld]

Hi everybody!
I'm Federico, and I'm writing from Italy...
And I'm really new to the HiFi World...

So that's the reason of the title!

Some of my friends told me that English manufacturer are some of the bests in the market and that english forums are rich of good informations. And here I am.

It's sure I'll read a lot and I'll write not so much... I need to learn.
Ciao!

Hi Federico,
Here's a warm welcome to AoS from me.

There is lots of good stuff to read here, you're right. But don't miss out on the best part of the forum, which is the community spirit we have here. So don't be afraid to ask questions there will always be plenty of help on hand.

You say that you are new to hi-fi, so does that mean that you don't own a system at the moment? What sort of music do you like to listen to?

Thank you for your welcome TGWazoo!

Yes... I'm looking for information for my very first system. Normally I listen cd's with a very simple integrated player by Sharp.
But some weeks ago I received a good pair of Dynaudio Audience 52... so I want to "upgrade".
I listen classical music (most piano, camera, and orchestral) and jazz... with a bit of rock of the past years.
Ciao!

Hi Federico

I'm a classical music fan, too - there's quite a few of us on AOS. :)

If you want to start a thread about your hifi upgrades in the Blank Canvas section of this forum, I'm sure you'll get some helpful replies. :)

Also - there's a classical music section on AOS, too - be sure to join in!

Hello Federico and welcome to AoS. I read Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein very many years ago and you've just reminded me of it :)

Hi Federico and welcome to AOS. You will find that hi-fi can be a very addictive passion but - good news - you are in the right place!
Italy also makes some truly wonderful hi fi equipment - beautiful styling, sublime built quality and really as musical and engaging as they come. From my set-up you can see that I am definitely a fan. Forza Italia all the way!
Enjoy your stay here at AOS.:)
