Further Explorations


Good one, I initially passed on it, but pulled the trigger a week or so ago. Glad I did.

I've a lot of subtractions and some additions to my system over the past year or so. I also made a rack out of angle iron and cage material that we use at data centers as I have not been able to source a media center that meets my specific needs. You'd think that manufacturers would understand the depth requirements of audio equipment and the need for proper ventilation. I got a granite top for the TV to sit on that I'm happy with and I am now working with a local wood crafter to get two shelves and a back on the cabinet. The back will have 2" holes for cable management. I still need to get new speaker wire as my lengths are off and I want something a little better. Pardon the current cable disaster in the back as that will be rectified.

I've gone from two racks full of gear in my old house down to a two channel system and now down to the NAD M33 which is preamp, amp, streamer and has phono input and HDMI ARC input plus a host of other features. A U-Turn turntable and the Dynaudio Special Forty speakers with an 18" Triad sub for oomph.







I love the Dynaudio Special Forty speakers. They sound amazing and the finish on them is perfect.







My baby.

Original pressing from 1972. Nary a snap crackle or pop to be found.

Thank you. I yearned for a pair of Dynaudio for a long time. These little babies handle a ton of power and perform effortlessly down to 40hz.

I enjoyed it, still working through a backlog of LPs myself.

@river_man I’m pretty sure I’ll probably just pick up every release in the series. I have a little catching up to do but I’ll catch the ones that slipped thru.

Fellow audiophiles and music connoisseurs, please keep Marco in your thoughts and prayers. After realizing the severity, wind speeds (150+ mph), and tracking of Hurricane Ida, Marco evacuated his family for their safety. He’ll soon be returning home to assess property damages while not knowing what to expect.

We’re thinking about you Marco, holler if you need anything brother !
