    Cool Hello from the New Boy!!

    Okay...so it's time to say hello...."Hello"

    What can I say.....always been keen on 'HiFi' since my Dad bought me a Rotel RA-210 'system' in 1973. (suppose a clue to age there!)
    There was a Creek...was it CS4040(?) and some Monitor Audio R352's in '83...then dabbled in a bit of 'assembly' with some Crimson kits in around '86....still using them today.
    Went through an Arcam phase in the late 90's....ably assisted by some Castle Severns.

    Kind of brings me to today!
    Have acquired a 'pair' of JLH Monoblocs...along with an Exposure VI/VII combo, all from the 80's (all needing a lot of work!!)....and wondered whether it was time to think about trying some Transmission Line boxes!

    All of a sudden...New/State of the Art isn't so appealing any more.

    And that's what brought me here.

    Just realised....I've not said much about myself

    Hello Kev. Welcome to AOS.

    The JLH monos are interesting, I bet most won't have a clue about them. DIY transmission lines could be fun too.

    If you get any projects on the go, you could feature them in our Gallery or The Drawing Board sections.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Hi to Alan, Geoff and Andy
    ....thanks for the welcome!

    Plans for the future...well....lot's of good intentions.
    I've a couple of Hammond C3's with valve Leslies.....from an earlier dalliance(!)....that really need sorting.
    Also ...a couple of Revox R2R's to be worked on, and moved on.

    Music-wise...taste is pretty wide. As a guitar player/nutcase...have dabbled in all-sorts of styles...Blues, Hawaiian....and am immersed in Django at the moment.
    1st love I suppose...was The Nice/ELP (70's)....that's never gone away!
    Love a whole range of Classical/Opera too.

    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***
