Back after 7 years
 

Here a renewed visit from The Netherlands. After 7 years of abstinence I'm back at this site. No idea why I had left it, but maybe it had something to do with all the time I spent (and still spending) at Steve Hoffman (under the same name).

I LOVE music (started once with post-punk, but nowadays complete eclectic by taste), but have also a great passion for audio gear - because of what it gives and because of the great looking design of most hi-end gear. Yes, audio gear is ART!

I love all colours for my audio gear as long it's black. Owning more than 8000 CDs and SACDs and will never change to another format or to streaming.

Welcome back !

The best audiophile forum, for sure.

Yes, and the friendliest.
Thanks to Ivan.
In such a subjective hobby, that is quite an achievement! :thumbsup:

Welcome back!

Welcome back! :hswhome:

Welcome back Echo.

Thanks to all. Will read a lkt of audio knowledge the coming weeks here! (Strange not more audio hi-end brands have a thread here, like my beloved Electrocompaniet and Octave Audio. Someone who knows why?)

Not a single request for one in 12 years.

Good Norwegian gear like Hegel. No idea why it doesn't have a bigger following here in the states.

If Ivan took on the brand domestic sales would go through the roof. :D

...marketing...

Those are 3 great brands, heard them all and always wondered why they don't do more in the US... Wall Audio and West End Audio out of Germany (like Octave) are other exampled.
