Hi

Awesome system BTW! Looks stunning too! If you ever do 'streamline the system', I'd be very interested in parts or ALL of it! Let me know! :-)

The streamlining has commenced, the Blu CD transport and QBD76 has been replaced with a Chord Red Reference MKIII CD player which freed up a shelf for my Melco N1A to slot back into the system, but I have long term plans for a second system with the now surplus items.

A bit 'I know best' here?
I once ran a test with fellow vinyl hardcore people, Sat them in front of a Rock playing a record.
After the usual comments about how much better/'real' etc., the sound was, I lifted the arm.
Music kept going -it was a CD playing.

I tend to be in the camp where mastering/production is more important than the source medium.

Lovely system - you are clearly a fan of Chord gear.

I’m not sure what gave you that idea!

I’d like to say that’s all the Chord gear but that would be a lie!!!

I stumbled across Chord by accident, once I knew which speakers I wanted I knew I’d need an amplifier with a bit of muscle and was looking at the usual suspects Krell, Musical Fidelity etc.. when I saw a review for a Chord Pre/Power combination. Luckily I managed to hear it at the old Heathrow Hifi show and at a local dealer, who also stocked B&W. While I liked what I heard I was still undecided as Chord were a relatively new company and longevity/reliability/servicing were a bit of an unknown quantity. It wasn’t until I saw their list of commercial and pro-audio customers that it became a bit of a no brainier and I took the plunge. Almost two decades later I’m very happy with my decision.
