I'm Michael.
Hello
Hi, my name is Michael.
Currently developing system. I have a 35 year old Akai AM2800 amp which is performing well. I have recently bought B&W CM8 speakers and Pro-ject carbon debut turntable. I recently acquired Arcam a18 integrated amp. The arcam did not match up to the Akai. About 12 years ago I trialled a NAD amp (can't remember model) also did not match Akai.
Regards, Michael

Hello Michael, welcome to AOS.
What are planning with your system? Sounds like you intend to make changes.
What music do you play?
Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
