I joined a while ago, when i was interested in buying or building some open baffle speakers, but it's taken me until now to do my 'newbie' post.
Having recently being made redundant (all good), deciding i don't wan't to work for anyone else anymore (at least not on a regular basis), and just having my knee joint replaced - means i have more time on my hands / an excuse to sit by the computer.

I've had good kit for 30 years - well i though it was good at the time ! Starting with an LP12, 32.5, hi-cap, Kans in my 20's, but have been playing with valves for most of the last 15 years, although i still have most of my record collection i haven't spun one for probably that length of time.

My interest is 2 channel based, all sorts of music, and for me it's all about the midrange sound and the emotion. Looking into 4 way active speakers, isolation and balanced mains at present.

anyway, got the monkey off my back, and look forward to meeting more of you in the future.

Best wishes,
Julian
