I used to run my own Hifi forum up until relatively recently when I chose to dispand it ... so thought I'd look out for alternatives... I have a keen interest in Hifi and all things music so it seemed a natural option when I saw it.

Pitty that on another area within the forum a couple of people have been difficult, we'll just have to see how it pans out !

Fair enough, but that is a real shame .... From what I have seen so far, this forum looks very good. I was all intent on being friendly and avoid confrontation (Which I can assure you from past experience using Hifi forums isn't that easy !!!) .... Maybe I'll just take the past comments as a learning experience ....

Paul.

For information, the rest of my system comprises of:

Naim CDI - CD Player

Linn Sondek LP12, SME Series III, Ortofon

Logitech Squeezebox III

Exposure XVII - Pre Amp

Exposure XVIII - Power Amp (Bia-Amped controlling the treble)

Exposure XVIII - Power Amp (Biamped controlling the midrange and bass)

A combination of Cable Talk and Chord cables

Of course you should.

We can be a bunch of fuckers here but it's for good purpose and as long as people aren't being complete knobends we all get along fine.

We're not too shy on calling out BS or pointing out when someone is being a prick. Hence the 'sorry about your thin skin' motto.

Hey all,

Sorry for causing such a storm on my arrival last week and also thanks for the positive comments.

Having had time to reflect, I was too quick to get annoyed and childish and therefore reacted in a overtly bad manor.

Hopefully we can let bygones be bygones and move on from this.
