    Stylus: Ortofon 2m Bronze
    Amplifier Yamaha A-S1100

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hello Steve. Welcome to AOS.

    I see you're not far away from Marco, he must have liked your shop .

    There's plenty of music and HiFi chat here, so just join in any discussions that interest you. Questions are always welcome, if you have any.


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

    Hi Steve,

    Welcome to AoS! Nice meeting you on Saturday, and as you can guess, I though your shop was cool

    Didn't know you were into hi-fi too, which is certainly evident from the system you listed. Interesting that you're into Technics T/Ts. I am too, as you can probably gather from my signature.. What's your favourite music, apart from Jungle, lol?

    Would be interesting to hook up sometime and you can listen to mine, or bring yours over for comparison and enjoy some munchies and a music sesh! Anyway, hope you enjoy the forum and become a regular part of our community

    ATB,
    Marco.
