    Hi Steve. I hope you enjoy it here as I do. I was once a prolific poster on the wam too. Unfortunately I often felt like banging my head against a wall as some of the posters there are arrogant and pig-headed, which I am sure you won't find here as long as you can put reasons to your opinions! I don't post there through choice now.

    anyway, enjoy!

    Hi Steve
    Welcome aboard from another newbie.
    Looking at your system pics I think I remember you from the Scalford show, you played some Antonio Forcione for me - it was the first time I'd heard him - now I've got all his stuff.

    I'm also running a computer source into a Bdac, Onkyo mini system and then home-made speakers as you did at the show - you must've influenced me...

    Hope you enjoy your time here - it's certainly very friendly

    cheers
    Chris

    well i'm very pleased to hear that i've managed to help someone else find a way that suits their ears and fits their pocket.
    your right i did exhibit at scalford hall, and i did play antonio a couple of times, i'm very happy you enjoy his music and that's what it's about, passing on something that somebody can enjoy. it's nice to know that i've had a positive influence, i'm well chuffed.
    cheers

    Hi Steve,

    I thought I've seen your handle before. Talk about a small world, eh?

    Don't stop at Catatonia, they're good, at least 'International Velvet' is. I got myself a 500 Gb hd this spring, just to be there, and since then I collected so many titles I never listened to, it's amazing. So much music I was missing out on...

    Anyways... welcome here, I hope you will enjoy it.

    Make sure you buy two and use the other one as a backup! Leave nothing to chance

    'Ello!

    You're going to have a culture shock when you change your amp (the Classik was great in its own context at the time, although it's probably well outdated now). Have you thought of valves (WD?)...

    i have indeed, and i've heard a wd amp at a bake off and was impressed. i only bought the classik as an upgrade from an onkyo black box, having previously owned a sugden a21a that i sold to ease my nerves when my little boy started toddling around, all that shiny front panel was just too tempting. i did listen to a chinese valve amp for a week or so and it failed to impress, it was running far far to hot. the wd amp i listened to was much cooler running.
    cheers
