Rodney From Sunny South Africa
 
As the title says ,, tho here in Cape town we are having a drought so cloudy skies are welcome..Im late 50s , semi retired but still own a business that uses lasers and CnC machines to make stuff.

My listening is done in a fully treated and dedicated 8m x 6m x 2.5m room.. it's also very soundproof to the rest of the house and I can indulge myself in what I like.. turning the wick up

I have catholic taste in music..so my system has to be able to handle anything thrown at it .. I love deep tight visceral bass, room filling scale , unrestrained dynamics, treble purity and lack of distortion.. but mostly I want the playback to connect with me on an emotional level

My system is simple
Squeezebox touch into 2x Devialet D Premiers in monoblock mode and then into my speakers.. speaker wire is Munsdorf silver ribbon..the Devialets are all in one things so you dont need much else in terms of cabling

Re the speakers , Took a leap of faith and have just upgraded from a set of Vivid Giya g1's to their new flagship.. the G1 spirits, the leap was rewarded.
