Hi from Northampton :)

[firestorm]

My name is Piotr, I'm from Poland living in UK.
My audio system is composed of KEF Reference model 2 speakers, Musical Fidelity A1 (2008) amplifier, NAD C541 CD player connected via Musical Fidelity V-Dac ii, Technics SL-1210SR turntable (Nagaoka MP-150 cartridge), Nakamichi DR-3 tape recorder.

Nice set up Piotr. I've had all 4 models of those Kefs, and some of the.2s as well. They are great speakers and a bit under the radar hence good value. The 2s are the sweet spot of the range for normal sized rooms IMHO. What finish are they? Do yours have the optional bass attenuation screw in the back? Can be quite handy although I've always gone back to flat even if 6-9 inches from the back wall.

I also had the original A1 amp as well as an A100, I've not heard the latter version so I can't comment, is it "heavily biased into Class A" like the original?

What sort of music do you like? Have you looked into going to a file based source or streaming? I think the vdac has a USB input? (I have the mk1 in my second system.) I'd look at upgrading your dac as a next step sonically as the speakers improve with source upgrades to quite a high level.

Thanks
A1 (2008) is amplifier made for listening to the music at night, it brings lots of details from music.
Yes, I use V-DAC for computer audio with J-play to listen to hi-res music.
My KEF's are finished in rosetta burr.
What is your recent set up Lawrence?

My speakers are Usher CP6371 driven by a yamaha p1600 studio amp, cheap but I like the signs more than some more costly ones. I use an Olive or Liv Zen as my source into an MF Tri Vista dac, or a Metrum Octave. My main pre is a Django TVC (similar to a Music First). Have recently bought some Vivid Audio flat silver in cotton cables that have proved to be the icing on the cake

Your CD player and DAC should be a good combination.
