Welcome bacobits,
We have quite a few recent new members from your side of the pond - the more the merrier, all are welcome.
The usual first questions are: -
What is your first name? We tend to use first names a lot as it adds to the friendly atmosphere
What sort of music do you like?
Could you post a few pics if your set up in the Gallery area please? - we like lots of pics here :)
If you have any questions, just ask away, this place is awash with knowledge, skill, expertise and experience, (none of it mine, alas :lol: ), all freely given where requested.
Get stuck in and enjoy a long and fruitful stay.
Cheers,

PS Sorry about the listing numbers - still trying to work out how these things work :) ).

Hi Den - guessing you edited your post to show your name after Dave asked, unless he's having one of his "moments" - like all his bullet points being numbered "1" - Dave, you've taken this DAC lark too far if you can now only count in binary!

Anyway, welcome, have fun on here - they're a pretty good bunch, and great to have you with us.

Ahh, I love the absolute diverse contrasting systems here.
This really is a very objectified expensive hobby.

I want to know why we are never next door to each other?
That has never worked out for me that way. Never had a cool neighbor like that
I also think we are getting to be a dying breed.
AND, we are all middle aged.

Again, thanks for the warm welcome.

I presume this forum was created around Jan. 08?
I was just wondering.

Hi Steve,

Is that Decware Equipment I see in your "Past and Present" Photos?

It is that equipment I had for quite some time that first got me into tubes and
later single drivers. I had a pair of Steve's Sig Monos for about 6 years. Probably the longest I ever kept anything. I ran them with an Audible Illusions M3 pre and later an MFA Magus 3A which I loved. It was a killer system and I regret selling it.

Hi Den. You are correct, Decware select and pre. They are excellent, and were it not for the fact that I will soon require a bit more 'oomph' they would still be here.

:)
