Helloooo :o)

Hi I'm Wiggy, a newbie on the forum.

I'm in the process of upgrading a higher end budget system to a full fledged audiophile kit. I am using a mac mini as a digital music server and may need some advice about this n that as I go along my merry way.

Hi Helen,
Welcome to The Art of Sound, it's nice that you chose to join us.
So what is the system that you're replacing and what will the new one consist of? Also, why not tell us about the music you like?

Cheers

Hi Helen,

A warm welcome to AoS! :)

You'll get loads of good advice on here about your music server, so pop along to the digital area and pick the brains of the techy heads there! ;)

Btw, what music do you listen to and where in the UK are you from?

Marco.

Hello and welcome!

What format files do you use for the Mac mini?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

The system I have had for near on 20 years was a bunch of technics separates with B&W 600i speakers.

So far I have bought some vintage B&W DM2s, a Musical Fidelity A5 amp and a MF DAC too. I have a long room so I want to run another amp (poss Arcam) from the DAC to run the 600i as a separate "zone". So basically it is an all British set up. I'm looking for a great condition maybe Arcam A65+ A75,80 or 85 to complete the set as I think that will be a good match for the MF amp.

I enjoy mant y different types of music, from choral (I sing in a choir) to Massive Attack to Nick Cave.

You sing in a choir? Nice one! So where in the UK are you from, Helen? :)
