I’m in my 70’s. My system comprises Garrard 401 in a slate 2 tier plinth with 2 arms. AT1010 with Decca Gold and AT1503 with a Myajima Koetu for mono replay. BAT VKP5 phono preamp into ATC SCA2 preamp into ATC 100 active speakers. Synology NAS feeding an AURALiC Aries G1 streamer feeding a BMC Pure Dac. CD player is the Moon Nova. All powered by a Pure Power 2000 ac regenerator.

Hi Dave and welcome to TAS. I'm probably not too far away near Basingstoke. I always liked the look of the AT1010 arm but ended up with a Dynavector DV507-II. My LP days are behind me now, having gone all digital.

Hi Dave and welcome to TAS. I'm probably not too far away near Basingstoke. I always liked the look of the AT1010 arm but ended up with a Dynavector DV507-II. My LP days are behind me now, having gone all digital. I was schooled at Lord Wandsworth College Long Sutton as a boarder. Nothing good to say about boarding school. Liked the are. Went there from Four Markes, went home at end of first term to my single Mum who had moved in a new house to her at Alresford. .Nobody asked me if they could divorce or prewarned or justified their terrible behaviour. But miss Hampshire. Liked walking from Long Sutton to the air show two years in a row, one when Concorde first flew there. My stroke wont allow the name of the air show. Someone will have to find it i their better memory. Its hidden in one of the brain cells that blead out. School was so close to RAF Odeum, one school day we witnessed the crashing over Odeum of two Helos. That was a sad occasion for the RAF. My memore of which helos I dont recall. Or the actual year. But any RAF from that era will recall it. |

I didn't board but made up for it by working at a boarding school for 17 years. Arcane methods and processes prevailed.
My parents also divorced and nobody asked me either! I don't think it's commonplace to ask the children, sadly. Living with my highly strung mother was no better or worse than witnessing their constant fighting when they were together.
I used to watch Concorde fly over my house in Sonning twice a day, you could not help but look up at the sound and the beauty.
I do like Hampshire, it's peaceful where I live in a slice of countryside just outside Basingstoke.

When I was home in hollidays my sister two years older and my mother were constantly at-each others throats. I used to wander around Alresford and the River Itchen and farmland all alone. Could have been called ferol today, but truth then and maybe today. Home wasnt a place you were nourished or loved.
When I was put up with my aunt uncle and 4 male cousins in Hull. I had my first ever experience of family love. My aunt is still alive at 93. I told her and Chris the second oldest who was my best friend no longer wandering the streets alone. Aunt was in tears. I visit because Chris has mnd. But since stroke havent been fit to go back. That aunt is more a mother to me I ever had. Also a mother of my two play friends when we lived in Four Marks used to say to me every day. “If the world was full of people like you Paul, it would be a much better place.”
