#1 Hello From (sometimes) Sunny Sussex!

Post by RSC »

Hi all,

I've been recommended to have a look at this forum by a user of, er, another forum (ouch!)... I like what I see, so hence have signed up.

I'm hanging on to the last threads of sanity, after 10 or more years in UK hi-fi retail, so can hopefully contribute something to the forum?!

I've just built a second hi-fi system, using an ancient Philips AG9015 valve amp with JR149 'speakers, but know very little about valves, other than that I like what I hear.

Not to say that I don't enjoy my main (Roksan electronics) system, of course, just that the two are very different!

Thanks for reading!

Hi and welcome.

Looks an interesting amp.

From what i have read it seems to be an OTL amp,but with output transformers as well,and funny speaker plugs for 800 ohm (yes 800 !) speakers.

That's the one, Philip, although mine's not as shiny as that!

Thanks for the welcome, gents.

Hello Royal Shakespeare Company, is it OK if we call you Mr RSC?

Hi Dave,

I blame the parents - well, they named me, after all!

Fact is, I use RSC on all the forums I go to: makes it easier for people to recognise me that way.

I'd rather be called Rob, to be honest... thanks for asking and thanks for your welcome.
