    Default My system

    In the spirit of sharing, which is so evident on this forum, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my current set-up. The piles of CDs in front of the rack are a pretty common feature. I have a huge collection and the ones I'm currently listening to most always end up in piles!


    All the electronics. The Exposure amp is just gorgeous. Not an expensive amp, but very simple with a good quality volume control and a well specified transformer. Sounds a lot like a Creek 4330R I used to have and regretted parting with, though the Creek has an extra dose of clarity and openess.


    One of the Dyns. I've been through loads of speakers including B&W 685s, KEF Q300s, Monitor Audios, Q Acoustics, Wharfedales, Missions, Quads.... These are by far the nicest I've had in terms of the sound they deliver. Very balanced, with superb integration between the drive units and not a hint of boom. They seem to work best about 50cm from the rear wall, as suggested in Dynaudio's excellent manual.

    I'll keep this up-to-date with any developments. Thanks for looking.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Should read that the EXPOSURE has an extra dose of clarity and openness.

    Need some balls to wake up Dyns and an obvious match is Exposure. Nice setup and I have a similar sea of music around the system.
