Hi everyone, really enjoying reading around the forums.
Love the willingness to answer with experiences and opinions. Especially when clashes of opinions bring new perspectives to the table!
Anyway, I have planned out a list of the bits I want to try over the coming months and if anyone has anything to say about them please do!!
Alternatives welcomed.
- Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III (High Output or Low Output with SUT) / Hana EL HOMC
- Marantz M7 (clone) Tube Preamp with 6Z4/12AX7B tubes
- Lab12 Mighty Single Ended EL34 power amp
- Sophia Electric Carbon Plate Princess 300B / Gold Lion PX300B / EH 300B Gold Pin tubes
Current equipment that the above will be used/swapped with:
Linn LP12 - Ittok LV2
EAR 834P phono stage
Yaqin MC300c amplifier (highly modified)
Musical Paradise MP-D1 DAC (modified) - Fed by Pioneer N-30
Quad ESL 57's/Loth X BS1's
Any suggestions at all for gear also appreciated. My tendencies are towards late night listening at modest volumes to well recorded uncompressed music. I'll listen to anything that deserves attention for its production/recording or just sheer musicality and content!
My goal is to listen to as much of my favourite music on as much different gear as possible as I find it fascinating how radically different approaches to sound reproduction change what you hear.
Cheers,
Chris
