Welcome..
Interesting system you have there and further proof that SBL's in a room they like can sound ok with non Naim amps
Look after your A60. For some reason it's still a "sleeper," but may not be for much longer

Welcome Svein,
Welcome to AoS. Hope you enjoy your stay. If no one else has yet metioned it you are cordially invited to post some pics of your 'interesting' set up in the Gallery area of the forum. I have visited Norway a few times on business but the furthest north I got was Kongsberg - do you know it?
Get stuck in and don't be afraid to ask any questions - as someone posted recently, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask - this forum is very friendly and helpful.
Cheers,
DaveK.
My System:
Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).

Welcome Svein - afraid my limit of Norwegian Music is Royksopp (who I love) and my knowledge of the country even less. Enjoy your time with us!

Hi, thanks for greetings.
The SLB's sound good in my room being careful to put them up in every way. Tone controls help too.
The A&R is a cracking amplifier, better than any of the shoebox Naims imo.
Haven't been in Kongberg in many years. 2 hours drive from here. And I am sure I'll ask stupid questions if needed,-
I know røyksopp. Not the other you mention.
Ordered 'Really' by JJ cale yesterday.
regards

Oh Gawd, I was selling UP from A60's to Naim.. I know what you mean though, although there was a certain good quality about the Nait 1 and 2.....
Royksopp Alex - oh dear............
