Hi Jinj, we were all new at one time, don't worry.
Don't be shy about asking questions, we all have areas of inexperience or limited knowledge.

Hello, i’m Arnold from Holland. I have some experience with hifi like most of us. But my love is for the 80‘ and 90‘ British and Scotish stuf. I have helped a dealer in Holland specialized in above and also repair en restore older equipment for myself and friends. So, thats how I ended up over here.

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

I would like to re-introduce myself; I am Alasdair, formally manager of Oxford Audio and now part of a certain British D>A specialist that I shall keep as a thinly veiled secret.

I've long-time lurked on the forum and have had an account for years but thought it prudent to formally introduce myself before potentially putting some fairly interesting exotica onto the Classifieds.

I've just received a Grand Prix Audio Parabolica, AMG V12f2 arm and DS Audio 002/002 cartridge and equaliser. As beautiful as they are, they aren't exactly in keeping with what we do so I've been tasked with finding the above some good homes (and I thought here would be a good place to start!) I'm awaiting some parts, such as an arm-board for the GPA so there will be a slight delay before I start listing things but wanted to say hello first.

Alasdair

Hi and welcome Alasdair
One quick question, when I take some pictures of the analogue stuff. Would you prefer me to post as trade or as personal?

As a second (and profoundly less important) question. I've grown very, very bored of my Devialet 250. Is there a "swaps" section of the WAM? I'm interested in power amps specifically and is Devialet still a dirty word around here?

If you are in anyway still trade and plan on selling gear you will have to pay trade rates .

You can advertise your Devilet in the classifieds , select the For Trade prefix .
You will need the required 30? posts to use the classifieds unless you fastback by paying £5 "Skip A Grace Period "

Duly noted,

As a tightfisted jock, I shall eschew your £5 offer and get to thirty the old-fashioned way. Is there anywhere I can read up on the trade rate?

Hi Alasdair. I have sent you a pm. Have a look towards the bottom of the site and you will see the Acceptable Use Policy. This explains posting as trade. And at the top of the page, under upgrades, you will see the appropriate section to contribute towards the forum as a trade member.

It’s been fantastic and it’s hands-down still one of the very best integrated options on the market if you value clean and fast over dark and musical.

A good friend is trying to tempt me with a Mcintosh. It’s working

Hi all, a newbie here on the forums. I’ve just recently got back into listening to music (with more intent) and collecting vinyl. I bought a Marantz PM6010 amp and a Marantz CD6000 paired with some Eltax floor-standers with my first pay packet 20 odd years ago. Sounded incredible to my teenage ears in my bedroom. Added a project turntable later on and started collecting vinyl here and there but life got busy and I just turned to a small Sonos system for ease of use. Anyway, after digging out my old equipment and vinyl i'm well and truly hooked again and I want to slowly build up a new & improved system.
