Hi guys, this is my first starter thread even though it's been something I've been meaning to do for so long, years in fact.
I've decided its time to sell my existing setup and start again. My kit as it stands are Proac 2000 sig on Target stands fed by a Sugden A21a amp with an Mdac/Rpi or laptop as source all tied up with Townshend isolda cables and interconnects. I'm looking for something different, but not sure exactly what it is .
Last year we moved to a new house and I had the opportunity to borrow a pair of ATC Scm7s from Rick at Musiccraft. They really opened my eyes to sound I was looking for, more natural and dare I say realistic, less coloured and worked well in my room but left me wanting more . I didn't get chance to take it any further at the time.
Now I'm also interested in simplifying the box count, not just for me but also to make it family accessible. I'm also in for the John Westlake Dac/pre when it surfaces and hope this might solve a lot of the source simplification, though timescale on this isn't an issue and I'll keep that to its own thread. So the big question is where to start? Ideally I'd like something along the line of the ATC Scm40a's aesthetically and functionally along with a Streamer/Dac/pre, not sure if they would work in my room as the speakers fire across rather than down. I feel I should start speakers first, but do I go with a clean slate or use the mdac as a reference? Sorry for the waffle feeling like a lost noob . Also these times are not going to make demoing easy.
