My main listening system is PC based running into a Abrahamsen V6 DAC to HE-6 headphones via a Primare 100W dual mono amp

In the near future I hope to upgrade the amp to a Class A ( maybe First watt ?) and get a balanced pre amp

The dining room system was a budget challenge and ended up as an HK630 feeding Mission 760ise (for under £20)

Musical tastes vary from Joss Stone, through Trance, Whitesnake,to Classical Organ

Hello David and welcome to AoS :)

I've never heard of your DAC but the Primare kit is nice.

Hi David,

Welcome to AoS. Yes some more info on the DAC (links, etc) would be good :)

the company http://www.abrahamsenaudio.no/ is run by the guy who used to run Electrocompaniet (and the V6 is similar to the ECD-1, though sounds better and was cheaper!)

I believe they have stopped production of the A series to make way for new models

Thanks for that, David.

Yes, I recognise the Electrocompaniet 'house styling'! I've always rated their equipment - definitely one of my favourite manufacturers of solid-state equipment. I also like Primare and Densen kit - all the Danish stuff sounds great :)

So how much is the V6?

Marco.

Yes, that looks very Electrocompaniet in style.

I think I paid £260 new

It has balanced connections (which are superb) but the USB input is not that good - I use an Audio-gd DI for that

Hi David, Welcome to AoS from me too.
I just had a quick look at the Abrahamsen website (http://www.abrahamsenaudio.no/) and was interested to see that they're marketing what looks like an updated version of the original Electro power amp. It looks rather nice too.
