Hello world!
Was looking for advice on interconnects for my new gear in the HT-room and realized that I be better of by joining in "for real". I'm an audioholic from south of Sweden that have been fed with music from my older brothers since I was very young. With my first real work (and pay checks) I was able to buy my first own real receiver, the Marantz PM-84 MkII and a pair of Dali 40 speakers. As you can see in my equipment list this is still my 2-channel living room setup. Have replaced my original CD-player (Denon 1920) with a Netgear NAS feeding a Squeezebox Classic. Besides from that I still find those oldies sounding great.
With the move to a new house I was able to design and build a "dedicated"** Home Theater/Spare room and this is where I consume most of my films and also music currently.
Since I really would like to have the sound quality in my HT to better match that one in the living room I have now invested in the Marantz AV8003/MM8003 combo. Hopefully this will be a huge leap forward compared to my previous Pioneer VSX-2016AV.
That was a litttle bit about myself and my gear. Looking forward to chat with you on different subjects. Most likely the first few subjects I will adress will be.
What interconnects to use for my new combo?? Balanced/Unbalanced/Price level etc..
Replacement DAC for the one build into the Squeezebox
Share experience of different media players. (Popcorn Hour, Build into recievers, PS3 etc)
** As dedicated as "The Wife" allows.
