Hi everyone!

My name is Alan, I've been around for years, even at the earliest iterations of AoS. I've probably been on forums for fifteen or so years on and off.

I may have drifted away from AoS but I still post at pfm and Audiochews. I used to post at WigWam when that was a thing, and HFS when I used NVA. I like to dip on and out of ASR for context. I read AA for the jokes.

I'm very good friends with Colin Wonfor, and through that have accidentally become 'trade' (or 'dealerscum' as we used to call them on WW). I taught myself to build and run a small amateur webshop called ABCaudio where I present Colin's designs and sell them. I build and ship all the cables, Colin does the boxes of things.

It's starting to capture some attention, thanks to Colin's extraordinary designs and reputation. I still have a day job, which won't change, bit it's heartening to see Colin get some recognition.

At home I'm all digital:

SotM SMS-200 digital server, controlled via Bubbleupnp.

SMSL M-400 DAC, a truly brilliant DAC.

Prototype EWA pre amp - not really sure what to call it.

EWA M-100 Turbo S amplifier.

Revel Performa3 F-208 loudspeakers.

Cables: all EWA by Colin Wonfor.

I look forward to getting to know some of you!

Best regards, from leafy East Sussex. https://www.abcaudio.biz/
