Hello, I've been a music fan for as long as I can remember and somewhere along the line got obsessed with hearing it on a good sound system. It has taken a long time to build up my current systems which are:
Man cave:
Hegel HD30 Dac
Nuvista 800
Art Alnico Signature
Monitor Audio PLW215ii Sub
Living room
Bladelius Embala CD/Dac/pre thing
Musical Fidelity M8500 mono's
B&W 800 Diamond
B&W ASW 850 Sub
All music is streamed via Tidal. I used to have a mountain of vinyl and CD's but I'm just as happy with the simplicity and flexibility of streaming. Plus I find myself discovering loads of new music.
As can be guessed by the subs I like my systems to be able to rock. My musical includes (but not limited to) funk, ambient, electronic , ska, soul, indie & rock. Last two gigs were The Cure and Cinematic Orchestra.
In regards to changes I'm most interested to hear what difference a separate pre/Dac would sound like in place of the Bladelius - or a more recent/cutting edge Dac/Pre. It's the digital frond end that I have found hardest to hear significant differences with and it looks like it would be easy to spend a lot more money without a significant upgrade. Still, always happy to be proved wrong!
