Hello from Gillingham, Kent

[jonxley]

Hello all,

I decided to bin my surround sound setup and come back to a reasonable HIFI primarily for listening to vinyl but also I have a decent collection of MP3 files.
So I sourced the following: -
Musical Fidelity A3.2 Pre and power amps
Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD and Musical Fidelity A3.24 DAC
Rega Planar turntable, Rega tonearm (no idea which) Nagaoka MP-11 Boron cartridge (no idea if that junk but sounds ok)

I am still looking for speakers and welcome any floorstander suggestions to go with this kit?

Right now i am using Canon SC-50's !!

I am also gutted to discover that my DAC does not support MP3 files - is there any way I can connect my storage drive or laptop even to the digital inputs on the DAC?

All the best, John

I can't even see your speakers on google - I suspect you might have a weak link there! MF works well with Spendor and Monitor Audio in my experience, but I suspect it's not too fussy about partnering equipment. And if you have to have your gear stacked, I'd have thought the power would be better on top of the pre- as it will generate the most heat. Gear like that deserves a proper rack of some kind.

Welcome, btw!

Welcome to the mad house. The Nagaoka sits fine with me... but mp3 music files! What were you thinking Memory is cheap these days so get some nice full fat CD quality files.
