Jabs1542 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I feel like I just climbed out of the pool--with significant shrinkage. There is a silver lining, pics like these convince my wife that I'm not the wackiest nut job out there Big step up from Prima Luna to AR - yes I'm jealous.

Audio_ELF Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Welcome to my parlour... Naim UnitiQute --> B&W CDM7NT plus Arcam AVR400, Cambridge Audio 751BD and Pro-Ject X-Pack turntable. Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment

goerz Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi, I'm new to the forum. I started using voyage mpd in 2011 running on an Atom D525 headless computer with no fans or moving parts connected to an Onix 25A DAC. I replaced voyage mpd with Daphile about a month ago and I'm really impressed by its quality and ease of use. All my music files reside on a self-built NAS in another room (I don't want fans or hard disks in my listening room). The speakers are Audes 146 and the amplifier is an hybrid A-120 Opera Consonance. Regards, goerz Link to comment

MNG Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 This has been a fascinating thread. So many different systems ranging from modest to awesome. Very interesting to see the different approaches people take. This is my main system with which I am entirely happy and believe (hope) that it is the endgame setup for me. The the picture is vertical but, when I save the reply, it turns on its side for some reason. Link to comment
pdvm Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I see it upright, no worries (and it looks good) Link to comment
MNG Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks. It sounds great and brings out the best in my speakers which are Dali Euphonia MS4. I thought I was settled with a simple but flexible two box system with the two Chord units. But then I discovered Qobuz, which is great fun and led to the purchase of the Aries - which I learnt about on this forum whilst Googling for something entirely different! Then I discovered the Melco NAS, so my box count has doubled this year - but worth it for the sound quality and the flexibility that I now have. i really do think that I am done now, but how many times has that been said before?

orgel Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi folks I'm a newbie and would like to post photos need some help. Thanks When you reply, there's an icon in the toolbar that looks like this: Click on it. In the resultant dialog, make the the appropriate tag is selected ("From Computer" or "From URL"). If you want to pull an image from the Web, paste in the URL in the "From URL" tab and click OK. If you want to use an image on your computer, click on the "Choose file" button, browse to the file you want to upload, and select it. Then you should be returned to the "From Computer" tab and you'll see the name of the file you selected. Click on the "Upload File(s)" link. You'd be well advised to do this in "Advanced" reply mode, so you can preview your reply and make sure it looks okay. (Once you've got this down, you can just do a quick reply if it suits you.)

Blindmullet Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks I think I have it. Can you upload more than one pic at a time? When I selected another it placed second one on top of first and still said 1 photo. Doing this on my phone probably not the best way. Link to comment

Blindmullet Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful Speakers, before my ML I had focal bookshelves...they are awesome sounding speakers.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]17998[/ATTACH]that's my set up now Looks great are those martin Logan's? One of my favorites. I build own now as I could never afford what I wanted so I bought every book I could on loudspeakers. Met a fellow that was into building speakers for concerts and studio mastering and I hung around with him for what's been 20 years now. Learned everything I could and now build for other people. There's always look better than mine it's like the plumber had leaky pipes the mechanics car is in bad shape, you start doing for others and never have time for your self. But thr ones I'm useing as mains are good the sound is awesome. I'm working on a new design now that will be even better. Love your setup clean and nice. The music scale on the back wall is a nice touch, Link to comment
