another newbie here

Morning all....
After lurking here for a while, thought it was time to properly join in.
One of the other forums I use has gone a bit quiet lately & I thought there may be some fresh perspectives here.
Always been a vinyl first user, although my Mac/DAC also works well for me.
System consists of a fair few of those warm/glowy things. They sound great but not really clued up on how they work!

Hi Matthew. Welcome to AOS.

Tell us what music you listen to and what equipment you have in your system.

Warm/glowy things are exactly what they are called. Valves. Basically, electricity in one end and out of the other, with a tap in the middle called the grid controlling the flow! :)

There's plenty going on here, so join in the chat on any topic that interests you.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi Matthew

Yes, plenty of vales and vinyl on this forum, as you probably already noticed ;) Anyways, enjoy!

Welcome to AoS :cool:

Thanks for the warm welcome! Nice.
Currently listening to The Fountains of Wayne, but along with the power pop stuff, I also like a lot of Jazz. Recently enjoying some of the Scandanavian stuff eg EST.
Can't get into rap or similar ilk. Opera likewise I struggle with. Other than that, hey, I'll give it a go.
Equipment is a Michell Orbe/Ekos/Akiva into an Audio Research PH5, Graaf gm50 ( which I just love & rate extremely highly) & Focal 1028be's.
The 0's & 1's are taken care of by a MacMini & modified Jolida mkIII DAC.
The red wine usually comes from Spain or South Africa.
Right..... Time to delve into the meat of this forum!!
