Hi all,
I've been around on that other audio place for a while, and was directed over here due to the amount of Technics knowledge you have.
My set up is a PC supplying FLAC to a Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2, and an SL1210, stock arm, Linn K9 -> Trichord Dino+ (the original plastic case one). These sources go into a Meridian 501 pre and from there to two power amps - a re-capped 557 which powers the speakers in the kitchen and a pair of 205 monos which juice up the speakers in the snug. Speakers are Tannoy DC2000 (kitchen) and Spendor A5 (snug). I've got a Linn Axis / Akito / DV10x as well, but that is currently in the loft pending decision on what to do with it (was my vinyl source for many very enjoyable years prior to the Technics arriving)
I have 3 little projects that I am considering with absolutely no urgency whatsoever:
SL1210 - fit the Timestep PSU which I already have, and consider further upgrades such as cart (Nagaoka?) and maybe arm.
Computer audio - Take the library out out of my desktop PC, put it somewhere else and build or buy a quiet HTPC
Speakers - neither of my current sets are what I would like ultimately, although they do fine for the time being. If something caught my eye, I would be tempted to give it a try.
I've browsed thru the MN / DC threads here with interest - I had no idea there was such controversy in the humble Technics upgrade "industry".
I'm in North East London, listen to a wide variety of stuff, mainly your good old "rock / pop" (the good stuff of course, less of the dad rock but some of it still passes muster), jazz as well, and some occasional excursions into electronica.
kind regards
Chaz
