Hi, I'm Eelco.
Longtime lurker on this forum.
I'm a dutch guy (57) who moved to France 6 years ago to start a chambre d hótes, togeter with my wive.
Before i have been a sounddesigner for commercials for 15 years.
I'm still in love with my yamahas ns-1000 which i bought over 35 years ago.
I listen to flacs via a bluesound node-2, a doge 6210-2 ( tube) head amp whic i also use as a pre-amp, a nad c 740 which i use as a power-amp. Don't believe in fancy cables.
I use roon as interface. Love it. Also there DSP works wonders for cancelling roomnodes.
Beatles, Bowie , Crosby , Zappa, Lambchop, Grizzly Bear, Anja Garbarek, Stina Nordenstam, to name but a few. Some cello suites to calm down.
Although happy with the sound, there is room for improvement.
I think in the amplification and maybe a seperate dac.
I'm really drooling over the quad 405 monblocks, which are for sale on this forum.
You can't find stuf like that in France. At least, not at reasonable pricing and in good nick.
Oh well. Glad to be joining.
