Hi Trev. Welcome to AOS.

That's a fairly comprehensive run down of your equipment. You're obviously keen on Arcam, there are quite a few Arcam fans here.

How about adding some system photos to our Gallery section. Photos are always popular.

And tell us what music you like.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi Trev,
Welcome to the AoS from me, that lot must have cost a packet, I hope it gives you lots of pleasure.

Enjoy your music :)

cheers Al

No obligation to add pictures, so just do it when it suits. We do like to see them though.

[trev]

Hello Al
Thx for the welcome
As far as cost goes 90% of the components were bought ex demo and the speakers, cables etc were all very well discounted i don't like paying full retail for anything if i can avoid it
The isotek conditioners and all mains cables (except1) were all bought second hand
The only thing i just could not get discounted was the Sonos System
But i quess you are right it didn't come cheap but i enjoy it and it gets lots and lots of use and i get pleasure from it by the bucket full

Cheers
