Hello all,
I'm living in Romania, best known for Count Dracula but a wonderful country overall (too bad it's populated).
My audiophile journey started about three decades ago, with the unavoidable ups and downs of great (or poor) decisions and plenty of holes in my disposable income.
Right now I get my daily shot of music from the following:
1. Sources: Esoteric UX-3Pi (used only as transport), Magnum Dynalab 106t and Pioneer LX08 (just for BD movies).
2. DACs: Chord Electronics Indigo and MSB The Analogue (will have to return one of them, still do not know which).
3. Amplification: Chord CPA-3000 (to be sold if keeping the Indigo) and Chord SPM-4000.
4. Cables: Siltech SPX20 power cables (funny thing the high-frequency power supplies inside Chord electronics work better with stranded power cords), Siltech Golden Ridge digital, Siltech G5 interconnects and Audioquest Gibraltar speaker cables (soon to be replaced by Siltech or Ansuz - budget permitting).
5. Power conditionind & others: Audio Power Industries 116, highly modified Aavik racks, Stillpoints (under transport) and AQ sorbothane (under tuner).
6. Room tuning: none whatsoever! I intend to get a pair of Vicoustics Multifuser Wood 36 (stacked) or a Vicoustics Wavewood Pro 120 for the first point reflection on the left wall.
7. Miscellania: great wife, no problems with spending/room treatments. BTW, the right speaker covers about 1/3 of the entry into the living room, and her only comment was "it definitely sounds better like this"!
My music preferences: mostly standard (no experimental) jazz with a hint of old timers' rock, a little bit of classical (no opera or Mahler, please) and some bouts of electro, disco and "oldies but goldies".
Glad to meet you, folks!
