Another forum user spotted my hifi in the background of another post and suggested I post some pics of it,
My old man was a lifelong audiophile nut, dragged me all over the country to hifi shows and shops as a kid, he was disabled so couldn't carry the boxes of stuff he bought,
We were at a hifi show in Harrogate, I must've been 11-12 at the time, was almost at the end of the day, he was busy listening to something and I wandered into the Naim room,
The guy from Naim treat me just like any other moneyed customer and gave me a full demo of their show rig, played Bomb The Bass full blast for me several times, and it left a lasting memory I guess,
After the old man passed away he left me his collection of ECM records so I set about building a little rig he'd approve of,
I'm not much of an audiophile so went for form over function, I just bought what I found the prettiest,
NAC 72-NAP 140-HiCAP serviced at Classe-A and upgraded by Avondale just up the road from me,
Rega P8 with Apheta thingy,
Cyrus XT Sig Cd Player - Chord Shawline to DAC
Chord Qutest DAC - Chord Indigo to NAC72
Bluesound Steamer running Tidal Premium - Wireworld glass lead to DAC
PMC speakers
It is a bit, it's a trade off, i'm not really an audiophile, the way the room/house looks is more important to me than getting the best of of the system,
