#1 I'm a new member

Post by ronaldgaines »

Hello everyone I am a granddad that thinks he is still a kid
I've recently,(last year) built my first amp JE Labs 300B
I listen to jazz with it into Sony SS G1 speakers
I prefer Vynil to CD, my deck is Ariston RD11 Electronic
much modified with a Rega arm
I like a big fat bass sound smooth if enough to send me to sleep
which I do a lot. Keep Smilin'

Hi Ronald.

I'm old enough to be a grandad but I'm not yet, which for the time being is a good thing.

And not sure how but when I saw the thread title 'I'm a new member' Lulu's 'I'm A Tiger' popped into my head.

I think I better either have a lie down or a pint of Guinness from the fridge.

Errrmmm...

Certainly seems to be a growing concentration of members in the Sheffield area. Wonder what's going on. Something in the water perhaps.

Welcome Ronald.
Much to learn there is.

Well I suppose mid 30's ?

Unless you get pregnant at 13 and have a daughter who does the same then it could be under 30.
