Ian's system

[IanG-UK]

Hi Iain
Some lovely gear!
I just got the Devialet 200 last weekend ( replaces Chord Electronics Pre/power)...wonderful transparency and "grip" from something so svelte and minimalist!

Rest of the system is Esoteric X03 SE SACD player acting as transport, Magnum Dynalab T100 tuner ( good old FM!), MacBook Pro
Speakers are Raidho C2.1 in lovely walnut burl finish
All cabling from Nordost ( well speakers are full of the stuff!), Nordost QB6 , QX4, QV2, QKI mains treatment ...should have shares in these guys!
Supports are a mixture of Finite Elemente and Stillpoints
Room treatment is from GIK Acoustics and I'm running a separate earth to a long copper rod buried in the garden...my wife truly thinks I'm beyond saving!

Nice to join the forum !

Thanks and welcome - and it's ok as I am beyond saving too.

I always wanted a Magnum Dynalab. In fact I still do. But now it represents (on the whole) an excellent solution to an imperfect problem - good FM broadcasts are so rare that I cannot warrant spending £8k on the tuner I would really want - the 109! Or a similar amount on the 809.

You've reawakened my interest. Luckily they are hardly obtainable in the UK which is a useful deterrent.
