Are you happy with the sound of yr hifi? I am.

Junkie.

 

Did you break into my house to listen to my hifi?

 

Yes.

 

Essentially yes - after a couple of recent additions. The fundamentals of my system are as follows (details in profile): Rega Planar 3 with Goldring 1012GX; Arcam Diva A85 integrated amp; Marantz CD6000KI; Monitor Audio Silver 5i floorstanders; cables mostly QED.

Having limited funds for such things, I added a Musical Fidelity V-DAC a few years ago, leaving the Marantz to transport duties and the improvement was dramatic. Satisfied in the interim, I boosted the performance of the DAC with the dedicated V-PSU a couple of months ago, which cured one or two minor CD playback issues and boosted performance significantly. Next in the spotlight came the Rega. Already modified over the years (now approaching its 25th birthday!), I plumped for a 'Tangospinner' sub-platter upgrade recently (see thread elsewhere) and the sound of my trusty Planar 3 has now been elevated to 'absolutely awesome'! I would say that my system would compare very favourably with one costing many hundreds of pounds more and I am highly satisfied. Just goes to show that a few judicious and modest changes can make a vast improvement to your listening pleasure, without breaking the bank!

 

Very, very. enthusiastically happy. Only thing I consider once in a while is tube amp with a few more watts than 35 for when I just NEED to hear that LP a BIT louder.

 

I'm not just happy with my hi-fi. I'm utterly thrilled with it! I'm Parasound'ed all the way to 11.

 

yes

Sorry I missed you, did you grab yourself a snack while you were here ?

 

Ok you lot he rumbled me . I am Father Christmas!

 

I am extremely happy...especially given that the overall cost of my system shrank with very little given up in regards to SQ...Convinience has increased.

 

Very happy!

None would be concidered " high end " but it puts a huge smile on my face!

 

@WHitese: Looks nice! I see Kirsaeter speakers (wich model?), but could you name the other components?

 

The monitors are Kirksaeter 141, the receiver is a Kirksaeter Moderator 150-200...I also use a rebuilt Pilot SM-245A EL84 int amp..
The CDP is a Parasound CDP-2000 Ultra, TT is Thorens TD-166 MKII, the R2R is a Teac X-2000M.

 

More than happy! My full range Pendragon speakers (driven by tubes) are some of the best speakers I have ever heard. And I have heard a lot of very high end speakers. They easily trumped some Vandersteen 7s priced at over 50k recently. Everyone who has heard my system has been blown away by it's overwhelming awesomeness...

So yeah, you could safely say I'm "happy."

 

Nice stuff!!

 

I am since I soundproofed my listening space and started listening at lower volumes with quality efficient speakers.

 

Yes, very happy with mine. Great sound, works a treat across the various formats board.
