PS. It is evident that many of you either have no kids, or no life, or you suffer from OCD. I mean.. all those acres of totally dust-free laminate flooring... all those spotless, shiny systems! If there's a secret.. let me know and I'll tell the wife.

God! Seems like a long time ago!
 
Hi All,

Here's my system :-

Meridian G08
Bryston BP25DAC preamp
Arcam 10 integrated (converted to power - little switch under the lid)
Arcam 10P bi-amping
PMC lb1's
Chord prodac and chorus interconnects with odessey speaker cables
Target equipment rack and Atacama speaker stands.

Hoping to upgrade the Arcams soon, any suggestions please in the power amp department apart from the obvious 4bsst :D which I have already heard and is on my list.

Regards,

Barry

My system (but not for long...)

Naim CD5x, 112x, 150x, FC2x, Dynaudio Contour 1.3mk2, Grahams Hydra, Chord Co Odyssey.
 
Started in the mid 80's with....

LP12
32.5
Hi-cap
135's
Isobariks
Sound Organisation rack

And after various changes is currently....

CDS3/XPS2
52
Supercap
Olive 135's
NBL's
Isoblue

No more changes in the pipeline....superlative to my ears anyway :D
 
VU meters and hilarious reading.....

That will be Luxman then.


Hiarious reading indeed...and just what is that on the integrated?...is it?....can it be?...it is! tone controls....
 
I dislike tone controls immensely. Having said that, I have a Harman Kardon amp in a 2nd system which is positively festooned with dials, knobs, switches. Damn fine-sounding amp mind you (with tone-defeat switched to 'on').
 
Jezzer, I don't actually use the tone controls and the bulbs went out on the vu meters a long time ago. accuphase amps are bloody marvellous.
