Thread: Hi Everyone =)

  1. #1

    Default Hi Everyone =)

    Hi there, I'm new here and pretty new to the audio world : I've listened to music on an old JVC AV receiver and a pair of Elipson Horus 2 for 10 years without thinking too much about it. I recently decided to upgrade my system and got an Arcam A75+ and a pair of Horus 5 (used)... Now I'm considering buying a squeezebox, and maybe a DAC to go with it =)

    Anyway, my name is Nico, I'm from France and still a student for at least a year (hence the not so high end and used hardware ^^).

    I can't promise I'll post much on these boards since I already have too much boards to follow, but I'm sure I'll have a good time here


    PS : Pics might come later.

    Hi Nico, and welcome! You can get some very good sound for not a lot of money with a Squeezbox and a good DAC! Hopefully you'll find AOS stickier than some boards

    Do post some pics when you can!

    Cheers

    Salut Nico. Bienvenu à l'Art du Son. Nous souhaitons promouvoir la notion de rapport qualité/prix plutôt que célébrer l'achat d'elements de haute gamme très chers.
