Hello,
I've been lurking round here for a few weeks and decided to join up. I'm a recent convert to the world of HiFi, getting my first system back in March, mainly I'm afraid to say, based on reviews and recommendations from WHF (I didn't know any better at the time!)
My system:
iTunes lossless audio & Spotify 320kbs via Optical into newly purchased Caiman DAC
Marantz PM6002 & CD6002 (also into Caiman) (ebay bargains!)
Project Debut III with Acrylic platter (eBay again)
Wharfedale 9.1s Bi-wired with QED silver anniversary xt on Atacama Nexus stands
All my system was bought second hand apart from the Wharfedales and the Caiman so I'm quite pleased at what I've got for my money but I can't help feeling I could be getting more out of my Caiman with a better amp.
I listen to a pretty wide range of music, mainly guitar based stuff though, acoustic and electric, and a lot of instrumental stuff too.
On the shopping list when funds allow are a decent set of headphones to go with the Caiman, probably be after Christmas now though. Also looking at a cartridge/stylus upgrade for the project at some point too.
As I said I'm still pretty new to all this so hope to learn as much as I can from you lot on here!
