Unfortunately not as neat and tidy as some on here! Anyway......
After much deliberating I decided to change my Arcam Alpha amps for the NAD C 370. I took a chance on a recommendation. It turned out to be a great move.(Cheers Rick!) I absolutely love it! Effortlessly powerful. It is digging up bass in dance/electronica id never heard before, but not only is the bass deep but it is really tight. This amp has a good grip of the ATCs. No hardening when things go a bit loud either! Acoustic instruments and vocals have much more presence. Anthony and the Johnsons and This Mortal Coil are captivating. I found the soundstage a bit narrower until I messed about with toe in and it is just as good if not better than the Arcams.The Alesis IO2 is a USB souncard I use for recording my own music and I also use it to play music from my laptop. The quality seems really good. I wouldnt mind looking into some other DAC in the future but for now it does the job fine.
I would love to get better electronics when funds are available but at the moment I am really happy with my system. I did have it on a seperate rack but to make more room its all on the Soundstyle. Makes no difference to the performance to my ears. I do want to get a small side table for the Systemdek. Ive spied one I like and that will get purchased in the new year.
The photos arent great. I have no idea how to mess with the settings for closeup etc.
Ive waffled enough. Heres a few pics.
