Hi all I have just joined, my HiFi interest started a a very young age my first HiFi was a Philips separates system around 1975 that my parents bought me from Rumblows and my first love was Yellow brick road by Elton John.
I just love the engineering of the HiFi and of course I love music.
My latest interest is to buy a valve amplifier.
Welcome to you all best regards Steve
Hi Stephen
Welcome to the forum
I went to school in Hemel Hempstead - I left in 74 I think
Anyway I like a bit of the early Elton some great pieces
I’m sure you’ll find plenty to help you and your valve journey here :)
Cheers
Neil
Welcome to AoS Stephen,
Yes, plenty of valve users here to help you with your search.
Apart from Elton John, what are your tastes in music?
Enjoy the Forum

Welcome Steve it would be useful to know what speakers you use, what sort of music you play, the size of your room and what volume you want to get up to as all these may influence which valves and amp are the best for you.

Hello Steve, welcome to AoS many on here have valves including myself. What gear do you currently have, my experience with valve amps is matching with speakers is pretty important, mind you that can be said of any amp I suppose. Yellow Brick Road was a regular player on my mates 8 track in his MK1 Lotus Cortina and on Vinyl at his home, and is a favourite of mine to this day, Captain Fantastic is another goody IMO.
