Right then, I know how everyone on here loves lots of pictures, so since im kinda new here I thought I would introduce you to my system.
Details can be found in my Signature or in my 'Hello Everyone' thread, Found Here (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4541)
I must point out that this is the less tidy and professional version of the setup. I have a lot less space to play with and less accessories available to me whilst living away from home. :(
One of the main things are the whacking great slabs of granite for the speakers and Sub-woofer to sit on. The Hi-Fi rack (if you can call it that in my pictures) is somewhat better at home too.
Right, enough chit chat....more pretty pictures :eyebrows:
First up is the Left Dali Concept 6

The QED Qonduit mains conditioner. Judging by the number of empty source sockets, I could do with so more source equipment :lol:
Front left to right: Caiman DAC, Gemini Sub, Arcam Amp

The centre piece of my system....The Caiman DAC :eyebrows: and what a DAC it is!

The backside of the amp, I do try and keep the cabling clean and tidy...honest

The right Dali Concept 6

Here is my source which feeds the Caiman.
Its a custom built, and rather high spec, water-cooled and stone dead quiet PC.
The music isn't actually stored here, but on a low power and dead quiet server hidden elsewhere in the room.
I can also use this PC to play Blu-Ray movies too :eyebrows:

For anyone who might be interested, here is the water-cooling tower for the PC above. Its about half the height of the Dali's.

The Dali's dont really go very low, so....this little beauty fills the gap rather nicely. Its a BK Gemini 2 Sub-Woofer.

And finally, everything as a whole.
