    Default Hi from Finland

    Hi there!

    I'm a classical musician by profession, but I'm still interested in hi-fi In my free time I also listen to 60's and 70's music, especially rock and prog.

    I have two hifi systems: the primary setup consists of a Devialet amp and Trenner & Friedl speakers, and my second system is Naim and Proac gear that I use in my studio. My first ever system was a Naim Nait 2 and Proac Tablette 2 speakers that I got in 1992. For a while I wasn't that much into hifi, but became interested in it again some years ago, and have gone through experimenting particularly with some other older Naim amps among other things - now I have a dual rail Nac12/hicap/Nap140 driving Tablette 10s that I got recently.

    Looking for finding good info and enjoying conversations on this forum!

    Hi Martin,

    I have the Pharoahs. For me they are quite excellent all-rounders and never cause any listening fatigue at all. Also really beautiful to look at (I have the rough sawn oak finish).

    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!”

    Welcome to AoS Esko.

    Where in Finland do you live? Suomi is north of the country if I'm not mistaken. Spent a couple of weeks on holiday in the south around Helsinki many years ago and found your country absolutely beautiful and the people very friendly and helpful.

    Enjoy the Forum

    Hi Barry,

    just noticed your post. I live in the greater Helsinki area, and "Suomi" is Finland in Finnish. The northernmost region of the country is called Lapland. Nice to hear you enjoyed staying here

    Cheers

    Esko
