Hello All,
First post but I've been browsing the Forum for a while, mainly whilst researching which DAC to buy.
There are only two types of music; the type that does it for you and the type that doesn't. Who does it for me? Led Zeppelin, Pixies, Radiohead, Aimee Mann, Everything Everything, Rush, Yes, Fats Waller, Randy Newman, Vic Chesnutt, Vaughan Williams, Aaron Copland are just a few that spring to mind.
My bits-and-pieces system consists of:
Marantz DR6000 CD Recorder into Beresford Gatorised Caiman DAC into Marantz PM-66SE KI Amp into Dynaudio Audience 40 speakers. I also have a NAD 521i CD player, a Goldring GR1 turntable and a Technics RS-TR355 Double Cassette Deck which don't get much use these days.
What gets much more use is streaming Spotify Premium or my CD collection ripped to Apple Lossless via Airport Express and Caiman. I have lately started using JRiver instead of iTunes, which sounds loads better, but my current tear-my-hair-out challenge is how to stream it gaplessly and without skipping tracks using JRemote on iPad.
