My system - upgrade progress
Hi,
I decided that 2009 would be upgrade year seen as there were lots of good deals around and I wouldn't earn any interest if I kept my money in the bank anyway. So here's my progress so far:
As and when I get any new gear I'll try to take photos and post them here.
This is what my system looked like in Feb this year:
Speakers are Eltax LR6.5. I got them about 8 years ago from
Richer Sounds for £200. They've been good speakers and have seen several different amps and source units over the years.
At the bottom of the rack is my new Arcam AVR300 7.1 amp. I got this in Feb to replace my Yamaha AV amp. I've still not actually upgraded to surround sound yet, I'm concentrating on stereo for now.
The little black box near the top of the rack is my Beresford TC-7520 DAC. It has it's lid off in the photo as I've been experimenting with different opamps. Technically I got this in March but you get the idea.
My source is my media centre PC which is in the next room to the right of the rack. At this stage I'm using a Mark Grant digital coax between the PC and DAC. A Cambridge Audio Pacific interconnect between the DAC and amp and some Gale speaker cable I got at the same time as the speakers.
I was bi-amping the speakers using the front channel outputs and two of the unused rear outputs on the amp. This is a useful feature of this amp.
That's about all I can say about the system as it was at this point.
