System Goals/Comments: Very pleased with the TEAC / MF DAC combi,
and my preamp. ARC D70 is a wonderful easy listen, need to upgrade my speakers.
System Strengths: Full range response, good bass, lovely mids and most importantly a highly musical system.
System Weaknesses: Stereo imaging not great and high frequencies seem slightly veiled. A friend of mine has bought, through my recommendation, a Marantz 52 SE to go with his old Kef Concerto's ( the ones with the rac track bass cone ) and an old Technics amp. This gives a truly awesome sound and when I first went round to listen to it I felt almost sick, his whole sytem cost less than a decent pair of interconnects and yet sounded better than 99% of all the kit we had recently listened to at the London/Heathrow show the previous weekend.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Fishing on the Hampshire Avon, spending time with my Wife and 2 young children.
