    Upgraded my rack, now fully wobbly and acrylic with cryogenically treated metalwork. Utterly awesome. Updated photos soon.

    Elberoth, welcome to the ZeroGain. interesting room & kit project, look forward to your postings.

    Tbear, I was curious to find out more about the ATC amp, and found this:
    "The way it maintains musical tension is also extremely engaging, the drama and energy that the musician has felt is there in full effect. It has tremendous musical integrity and encourages you to listen and listen until you're totally exhausted."
    how was it for you?

    LOL. It certainly left an impression on supercapman last week :D

    I think I would only add that it is an amplifier in the truest sense of the word. What you put in is what you get out.

    With the ART v2, it's a match made in heaven. I can't stop dancing and grooving, even to things that normally leave me unmoved :D

    And as for the Contour 1.1s... I can't think of a suitable superlative right now. Spellbinding perhaps?

    It's like the musicians and singers are performing for me and me alone. I've never connected with the music like this before :cool:

    Chris,

    I take it you've switched to the 'Naim' algorythym' filter on the back then

    I'm using the 'Lagrange' setting.

    I found the 'Audionet' setting a bit dull by comparison.

    So far this player is utterly unfazed by everything I've thrown at it. All the things I'd given up listening to because they sounded so ear-shredding. Like 'Burn' by Deep Purple.

    F**k me! :eek: Oh boy! :techno:

    Errm... sorry about that... Deep Purple just launched into 'Speed King' :D

    Amazing! I can't keep still. I've been laughing and crying together at what I'm hearing here.

    Must try some W.A.S.P :torkmada:

    Either this is one of the best CD players on the planet or I am stone deaf :D

    Looks like I'll have to have another bake-off :rolleyes:

    Chris, that cdp is gorgeous. I love Audionet stuff, very minimal but sleek styling. Does it come in silver:D how much can you get them for?

    cheers

    Yes :)

    Too much! They are pretty rare. I guess people are hanging on to them. The guy I bought mine from was only selling his to finance a bigger house for newly arrived sprog :D

    There was an ex-dem one in silver at Audio-T, West Hampstead last time I looked. £1199 I think it was. Might not be mint at that price. Or they may just have had it a long while.

    Let's have a picture of the new rig then.

    Also, while you still have the previous speakers it would make an amusing picture to see all 6 PMC's in the lounge - 3 per side. :JPS:
