    Default Hello from Portugal

    Hi all (boa tarde a todos if you insist)

    I'm a Brit retired in the Algarve for some years. Have joined AOS for various discussions on Taket-BATPURE supertweeters with which I am contemplating a punt.

    Otherwise active(-ish) on PFM, Devialet Chat and Squeezebox forum.

    System summary is as follows:-
    Server = iMac 5K Sierra -> Bootcamp 6.0 -> W10 (dBpoweramp ripping / MediaMonkey management)
    Router = Huawei B593 4G + repeaters
    Lounge = SBT / LP12 / MF X-Ray -> Devialet D200 -> Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MkII
    Covered terrace = SBT -> AudioEngine A5+
    Study = SBT -> NAD D3020 -> Epos K1
    Kitchen + bedroom = SB Radio
    Garage = SB2 -> Rotel RA820BX2 -> MA252

    Despite what many of you might think, Portugal is not always the land of eternal sunshine. We're now into day 10 of torrential rain, high winds and general mayhem, but after a year of drought and some terrible wild-fires it's kind of welcome. Light the log-burner, pour a glass of non-too-shabby Portuguese red and then decide whether the mood is for jazz (modern/contemporary/nu), new prog or electronic, and kick back. Leaning towards some Panic Room right now . . .

    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!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***

    Welcome to AoS Graeme.

    Portugal is one country I have been meaning to visit for some time now - just never got around to doing so. Will have to do better!

    Hello Graeme. Welcome to AOS.

    Lucky man, wish I was in the Algarve.

    That's an interesting combination of gear you're using there.

    There's plenty going on here, so feel free to join in with the chat.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
