Well I seem to be early on the list :) My current set-up is in my signature. I'm not a professional at anything music- or hi-fi-related, although did work in a high-end dealer many years ago.
I'm here as I got an SB3 - I used the forum to find out stuff pre-purchase, and quite liked some of the arguments we had. The smaller community is nice compared to some very large audio ones. My audio philosophy is very much on the subjective side. I believe that we have not found out everything we can measure, and that our ears are more sensitive than any other measuring equipment. I don't believe double-blind A-B testing is the be-all as I change into a werewolf the third time I hear a song in a row, although it can be useful. I find that I need to live with stuff for quite a while before deciding what I really think. I subscribe fully to the low power single-ended triode valve amp plus high-efficiency speaker route - I just prefer the sound - it sounds more like real music to me. My system sounds incredibly good and I don't envisage a change to the CD/amp/speakers for many years. I found the stock SB3 lacking, but it's getting OK now with an external DAC; I may do more tweaking. I listen mostly to classical, folk and world music. I go to about one classical/opera concert a week, and see folk or world music about 5-10 times a year. I spend much more on live music than on recorded/hi-fi! Finally I love having equipment that is named after me. Sean should give me a Transporter just so I can have another Slim device remote :) Adam -- adamslim SB3 into Derek Shek d2, Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30141 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
