Hello from Ireland. I heard about this forum on Cix; Martin, were you once a member there? Your name seems familiar.

I have had, buillt or purchased hifi since the late 1970s. Mostly in the early days it was what I could make myself. My present hifi systems are getting a bit old and are beginning to become unreliable. When I started looking for new ideas, I asked in the Music forum in Cix There it was suggested that I would get good ideas on this forum.

I'll post some specific questions in other messages, other areas.

Hi Gerard and welcome to The Audio Standard.
It's great that you found us here. That's a nice part of the world there, that you come from. I visited that part of Ireland a few times years ago on business trips. I know West Cork better though.
Welcome once again.

I think it's probably just my age that fools people into thinking I'm a grown-up.

Goodness me, Gerard, that was a while ago. Yes, I was mtaylor@cix and MikeMusic was there, too. Welcome!

I hope we can help you. Give us a budget, preferred music, room size etc. and we'll see what we can do.

Dive in and enjoy
