I don't have any of this gear anymore - But you get the idea of what I do ( sometimes )

[SimonHamnett]

I like Albarry. Big-ish and nice red perspex ! I like seeing 'the works'

Hi Simon, and welcome to A of S.

Is this you? You have some tasty kit ?

LOL....

You take it well. I would be livid if some 'loonie' used my name to sell on Ebay, especially living in the same town.

Welcome Simon from Preston. I am sure there are a few of us need putting out of our misery with regards to your size penchant. How about some pictures?

Some big amps. Valve and transistor.

[drSM]

Simon, welcome
What are those big valve amps ??

[SimonHamnett]

http://www.audiovalve.info/

They are not mine - they sound good enough. But I think they are more about the idea their size engenders rather than any particular sound quality.

They say they are 'the best most powerful valve amps in the world'

I say maybe, who knows, but I like big transistors more anyway.

Can't be doing with changing valves every week at £££.

Simon, with respect, it all seems a bit vague and unclear.

Your first picture shows kit that is no longer yours. I see quite a bit of Naim in that picture. You say ( I think !! ) that you arent the Ebay dealer with the same name as you, from the same town , who sells Naim and Linn on Ebay.

Someone else asks for pictures and you then post more pictures of something else that doesnt belong to you.

The point of this thread is to introduce yourself and, if you would care to , to let us know what your kit is?

Simon, welcome

Audiovalve there pre amps are much better than there power amps!

Is it possible to send member a private message ? Is it possible to contact individual members ?

Or do you need to start a new thread, or post to the thread a contributor has contributed to to ask a question ?

Thanks

[Macca]

Yes you can send a PM by clicking on a members name. But you do have to have a certain number of posts. I thought it was 5 but maybe not.

Many thanks Martin.
