My Setup (new member of AoS)

[Simon P]

Hi,

I've just joined AoS and was encouraged to put up some pics of my setup.

As I like seeing picture of other people's setups, I think it's only fair enough I put some up myself really ...

I've just read about how to do this with the well written intro thread about using Photobucket - let's see how well I mess it up

Here goes ...

Looks good to me also. I always liked that particular Krell integrated - showed a very clean pair of heels to its 300i predecessor IMO and it annihilated the Naims at double its price.... We couldn't sell any though, as it wasn't made in Salisbury or Glasgow..................

No doubt there'll be some interesting comments on the turntable. As you know, this site has become THE place for SL1200 advice and cost-effective upgrades.

You know, I honestly don't remember the MLS5 at all, if they have two bass units each as you described them. I wonder if the bass units are paralleled up, or configured in a "two and a half way" as done nowadays, with one bass unit rolled out in the lower mid and the other set full-range bass to tweeter. they must have come very late into production - I think Audiomaster continued for a short while beyond 1981 - almost until KJ broke up into individual businesses, so they may be from this era.

A fellow DAC64 owner, what do you think of it? I think mine is great but I kept getting a very high pitched whine from the speakers when it was connected, similar to when you connect a computer to a hifi. Turned out I just had to earth the analogue and BNC connections to mains earth and it went away!!

I've been a distracted lately and havent been on here much but really nice to see some really good system pics and a steady influx of new members.

Simon - for posterity, would you mind taking the grilles off the speakers and photographing them please? There's a chap here who has some much loved MLS1's, but as Robin's earlier designs are all but forgotten in the rush to buy Epos ES14's (his best known design), it would be good to have a visual record please...

Hi Paul,

A fellow DAC64 owner, what do you think of it?

I absolutely love the DAC64. I was running a Musical Fidelity XDAC v3 before, which was decent, but didn't really engage me. I knew there was more detail to be had. When I got the DAC64, I was amazed at how musical, dynamic and punchy it sounds. It put a big smile on my face.

To me it was a lot of money to spend on a DAC - even second-hand, but it has been worth every penny.

Dave - absolutely! I'll take some shots and put them up in the week.

They've been passed from my Dad to my Uncle, who swapped them with my brother for an old Fons deck. I think most of the kit in my family has come from KJs via my Dad. He _says_ that he paid for it all

They used to have a foam cover on the front, but this disappeared some years ago. When my brother got them he had to make up new front covers, and he made stands for them as well.

I had to contribute towards the cost of a pair of LS3/5as to get my brother to part company with them a few years ago
