Anything else.

Here is mine:



Left Turntable: Goldring GR1 2004 model upgraded with Rega P3 bits
Right Turntable: Thorens TD150 MKII 1972 model
CD: Marantz CD5000
Tuner: Marantz ST4000
Amp: Marantz PM4000
DVD: Reoc A5
Interconnects: Van Den Hul PB5 Hybrid
Speakers: B&W DM601-S2
Speaker Stands: Alcatama Nexus
Speaker Cables: QED Silver Anniversary Bi-wire with Ixos Banana plugs.

The system is undergoing big change at the mo, i am in the middle of making myself a valve power amp to go with the pre amp i also made (you can see the litte silver box in the middle is the preamp).

Cant wait to get my valve amp done, its gonna sound awesome

Nice setup

I rarely listen to music on my setup, it's built pretty much mainly for movies. But sometimes I do. I don't have a dedicated system.

My dad's hifi however is for music, and I use it sometimes.
It consists of:

Arcam Delta 290 Pre-amp (I think it's the 290... Lol)
Arcam Delta 290P Power Amp (again I think it's 290)
Arcam Delta 2x0 CD player (can't remember the exact model)
Linn Keilidh speakers
Linn cabling, incredibly thick and heavy. Lol

[subucni]

haha, and your storage unit is called something like "oopli" and it's from ikea. I have the exact same one.

as far as my set up goes, it's a fair few years old now but goes along the lines of

amp/tuner : sherwood R525 receiver
cd : kenwood DPF2030
minidisc deck : Sony JB940
Speakers : Eltax monitor 3's
DVD : Some cheap philips thing i got for £10 when i bought a phone
Interconnects : can't remember and dont wanna pull it all out
Cables : Some cheap Gale ones from richer sounds
also : cheap aiwa vcr, cheap proline 28" tv and pace freeview digi box (never given back from when i worked at itv digital)

as you can see i didnt really have a lot of money when i built it

But if you like it Subucni, then there's nothing wrong wiht it whatsoever

Preamp schematic?

I currently have a half-built gainclone (but it's five channel so doesn't count) and when thats finished I'll be starting my preamp, which is likely to be OPA134 based...

simple dm31+dmd30 in me bedroom, running on some whafedale pi10s.

the origional dm30 died a month or 2 ago, and i was consideirng upgrading it, but decided i dont use the stereo enough to make it worth while.. still, i was this close || to getting a teac reference 500 system w minidisk/dab

Hi Audiophiles

My Hifi consists of;

Skybox->
Sony DVD ->
Meridian 200 series CD transport (old) ->
Meridian 566 20 bit DAC ->
Audio Analogue Bellini Pre amp ->
2 x Audio Analogue Donizetti power amps (1 drives left and right bass other drives left and right treble) ->
Opera Callus gold Mahogany speakers on Slate audio custom made stands.

Looking into getting a turntable soon again...

This was bought over 3 years (amp, speakers, new CD, stands dac, 2nd hand) CD transport is old and needs servicing but might get a new SACD or DVD A one soon.

oh what site can host some photo's of this lot for me please?

This is my setup (in theory ) It doesnt work because the amp never worked properly since i brought it a few months ago and have been trying to get it replaced ever since . Anyway thats another story.

NAD C320 (the amp in question )
Mission Speakers cant remember model
Phillips CDsomething probably not brilliant
Denon Tu260ll
Gale Speaker Cable.
Cambridge Audio Interconnects


By the time i get it working ill probably want to get other stuff. Might sell it to my parents

[Sk!mD4Rk]
