Hi,
While i have been engaged with this wonderful forum for few months now, i never had the opportunity to put forth my setup. This was because of my shuttling between Singapore and Chennai. Now, slowly, i transferred whatever equipments i had to Chennai and install them reasonably.

Components :
Amplifier - NAD C355BEE
CD player - Cambridge Audio 340C
Tuner - Rotel 940AX
DVD player - Phillips
Turntable - Stanton T.60 with Stanton 400 v3 cartridge
Speakers - Mission M32i
Sub Woofer - Mordaunt Short M309i
Cables - Various entry level (no consistency !!)
DAC - Beresford 7520 (not yet installed or tested !!)
Rack - DIY flexi rack - just as a start up
I am yet to fine tune the speaker placement and other things. Similarly, the speaker stands are dismantled from two old coffee tables ?? and a marble placed on top with some kind of 3M isolation bought from a DIY store (we can call it rubber bush
). Also the CD player and tuner are sitting on marble pieces with hand made wooden cones - just trial & error learning.
As of now, the sound is reasonable good to my ears with central imaging and clarity. I still feel the image is not high enough (vertical) to have a better feel - i will be working on that with stands, speaker and Sub placement and whatever possible.
I like mostly slow paced music with nice clarity on instruments (like e.g. Katie Melua, tracy chapman kind of songs). Added the sub to compliment on the LF which i like.
DAC - i have just bought it in SIN and have not even tested it in this setup - so no comments on that and not even there in the picture.
Turntable - I picked this up when i was on a trip to LA and this works fine (since i have not had the opportunity to listen to any other TT, i can't compare). I have just STARTED collecting quality CDs and Records as i got into this hobby only very recently. I have a small qty of descent records which i bought them used in LA and in Seoul.
I wanted to do this post for sometime, but unfortunately i could not. Hope it is a descent start up to this world. I would be very happy to invite our forum freinds to my place and also can visit their places to learn more about this NEW world.
A Big thanks to this forum through which i have learned atleast to this extent and looking forward to having a wonderful association.
....my other hobby is Photography, but unfortunately, i need to learn to post crisp pictures in this forum.....
