Hello Nic, perhaps I should redress the balance and check out PFM - but then I'd never get anything done!
What kit do you use, and what sort of music are you into? I'm sure you'll enjoy the friendly banter on here, just don't mention the war - I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it!
Enjoy AoS.

Well it’s great to be here. Favourite music is classical and I have a fairly modest rig but love what it does: LP12 (pre cirkus), Lingo 1, LVii, DL103, Avondaled 42/Zap250 into Spendor SP2 (original).
I also have a Beresford 7510 which I have been immensely impressed with. I found out about here by stumbling on the mod 21 thread. I just have to try this – right up my street i.e. reasonably nifty with a soldering iron but don’t really understand electronics!
I’m also hoping to bump into someone who really knows about these old SP2s. I bought my pair after living for many years with a pair of Kabers. I wish I’d done the change years ago tbh and am keen to keep and restore them. Awesome speakers imho.
Anyway, it’s great to be here and I look forward to meeting new folk and a good few mates from PFM.
Cheers,
Nic.
