1 - Music Experience: I don't play an instrument or can sing a tune. 1 - Audio Experience: I’m not recording engineer. 1 – Hobby Drive: Laziness (tired of flipping CD's w.r.t SqueezeBox). Home Theater/Enjoy Music (General Music system). 1 - Slim Devices: Heard about it on http://meridianunplugged.com, figured if it was good enough for those guys it is good enough for me. I’m also interested in Sonos because of user friendliness (Wife won’t touch squeezebox).
2 – Past: Lexicon, Krell, B&W Nautilus, Matrix (I liked Matrix Better, hard for me to admit that, but true) 2 – Current: All Meridian, 861V4, DSP-5500 Left, Right, Center, DSP-33 rears running “Trifield” 2 – Future: Maybe add HDMI Card to 861 for SACD from PS3. Maybe check out Sonos. 2 - Cables: All stock Meridian Digital Cables. Cables don’t matter in this setup. Really they don’t. 2 – Room: Untreated living room. 2 – Placement: 3 in front and 2 at sides. 3 – Philosophy: Blind testing, absolutely. Your head can play more tricks on you than you might ever believe. I also believe in instantaneous A/B testing (not just blind testing). If it takes more the 3 seconds to switch, the comparison is a waste of time (not always easy to do). This is critical for subtle differences (which most differences are). Testing in the store is completely useless as well (in home, in your room only, is all that matters). 4 – Brings me here: Ripping tips, real upgrades that actually help, have not read a one yet that convinced me. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 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
