    Greetings from Portugal

    Hi,

    I'm a Music Fiend from Portugal.

    I must confess I have been addicted to Music since I can remember and being an audiophile is a way to get my fix.

    I'm mainly interested in stereo and my setup is:

    Digital Transports: Cambridge CXC (Qualiaphysic Modded) and Fanless SSD Netbook;

    DAC: Mytek Brooklyn with Qualiaphysic external linear PSU;

    Integrated Amp: Gamut Di150 LE

    Speakers: Monitor Audio GX100 and two REL R528SE subwoofers;

    Cables:

    USB: Wywires Platinum;
    Digital Coaxial: VdH The First;
    Analogue ICs: Blacksat
    Speakers: Tellurium Q Black (including jumpers and the inner wiring of the GX100s)
    Subwoofers: REL Bassline Blue
    Power Cables: Vilasound

    I am quite eclectic in terms of taste but most of the time I listen to classical music and alternative rock.

    Cheers!
