Hi, As my signature shows, I cannot call myself a true Audiophile! Still I lurk in this forum as I am more than interested in good audio reproduction and equipment (as well as any cool gadget in general).
I am not trained in any musical dicipline; in fact if I tried to play on an instrument I would be rolled in tar and feathers and run out of town! I love listening to music though, mostly pop/rock/blues - from the 70's till today. With "pop" I am thinking of the popular music as it was in the 60's and 70's - not today's marketing driven drivel. My CD collection is about 1250 CD's, so there is plenty to choose from. I like to go to live venues and try to go one at least every other month; I also go to blues festivals and stuff. First concert was Supertramp in 1979! On my kit - Rotel and Kimber Kable are well known stuff for most of you, but the DynaDel speakers are made here in Norway by a company called "Eltek - Ingeniør Strand" (http://www.dynabel.no) for those who understand the lingo). It is a two-way speakers with a Scanspeak D2905 tweeter, a Seas Excel bass driver (magnesium membrane!)and a high quality filter (price: around 1250 euro). These are placed on solid (and heavy) Empire stands. The Kimber 4TC kables are terminated with WBT connectors. The SB3 is powered by a linear PSU based on a Calex 32005A 5V/3A unit. I also have a Rotel RDV-1050E which is used for my concert DVD's and newly purchased CD's I haven't ripped yet. The sound quality can be described as neutral, well controlled and at the same very musical. Bass is decent; or will be when I fix my listening room's resonance problem! I went for the Rotel kit after comparing it with a few alternatives (with listening tests), as I found that it fits my speakers well and I like the look of the units. Photos of the Rotel amps and the speakers can be found here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817&page=9 Tom -- tomsi42 SB3, Rotel RC-1070/RB-1070, dynaBel Exact, Kimber Kable 4TC and Timbre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsi42's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2477 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30141 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
