    Default Hello from Croatia

    Hi everyone,
    My name is Nikola(it's boy's name here) end I come from Croatia.

    My system is ( for now):
    Macbook pro Retina , Audirvana + conected via toslink to Beresford Caiman MK2 DAC.
    I am using Abrahamsen V2.0 UP amplifier to drive my old Monitor Audio BR5 speakers.

    Really want to upgrade speakers....I have kit from IPL acoustic for 7 months now but did not have time to do the panels cut in MDF the build them.
    I am planing to upgrade DAC with linear PSU soon.
    One other thing that I need quite urgent is some sort of computer for music server. Still not quite sure what is the best option MACmini,NUC
    Aries mini....

    My music is mainly rock,sometimes blues and rarely some sort of jazz.
    I am listening electronic music too but no so much like before.

    Cheers!

    Hello Nikola. Welcome to AOS.

    There's plenty of info here about digital music. Check out the Digital Expressions section.

    If you have further plans for your system apart from the speakers we'd like to hear what they are.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Welcome Nikola,

    I've been using IPL speakers for about 3 years now and I am very pleased with them, they punch well above their weight so to speak. I didn't build them myself as my DIY skills are non-existent!!

    SME IV Arm & AT OC9XML,
    Firebottle modded Tron Convergence Phono Stage,
    Bluesound Node 2i, Technics SL DZ 1200 CD
    Denon PMA1700ne amp
    Yamaha NS1000M Speakers.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome.
    I plan to put some pictures when I finish IPL speakers and when I get the PSU.
    I've caught a cold for weekend and I am still not good but at least I can read this interesting forum.

    Cheers!
