My gawd, Andrew... Have you won the lottery-jackpot ?!

Impressive setup, you've got there.

If I'm not mistaken, my whole system costs about the same as you're Nordost interconnect and speaker cable ! :rolleyes:

What a CD player you have¡¡¡¡¡

I had a listen last saturday and I think is one of the best CD player actually in the market.

How the audionet match with other non audionets amplifiers?

Thank you Ronaldo.
 
thanks for your comments on the cdp i bought this on it ability for playing all types of music it works well with loads of amps.
go for something neutral in presentation. i was not as inpressed with the matching amp and prefered the roksan.
the cdp on a par with at least 2 cdp's that were twice the price, but this is my opinion.
i thought it sounded better than a naim cdx/xps and also my mate's 777 sony sacd player in both modes. i also had a listen too another player in the £5000 bracket which shall remain nameless overpriced tat.
to be honest at £2300 there is nothing that touches it.
to those of you concerned (you know who you are) it has blue lights :)
 
Im starting to save money for the audionet.:D

Will be a long wait :mad: but worth the effort. Thanks for the advice.

So you moved to the dark side... :JPS:

No wonder you are selling your JBLs, those speakers are BIG... :yikes:

So much for getting small speakers to be considerate to the neighbours! I suppose if you expire whilst manhandling them up to your flat then at least they'd double up as coffins:D

Oh and you haven't changed your set up at all since ZG's inception Mr Kettle:D

To be fair, I rather doubt I will be able to live with speakers this size for very long - but I'll sure have fun trying:D
