HTPC constructed and configured by me, based on Athlon II 240e platform, Windows 7 and XBMC.
Upgrades that will follow very shortly.
Cardas Golden Cross RCA 1m between the CDP and AMP. I tried it and it is exactly what I'm searching for. That extra weight, body, creamy and warm feeling that I enjoy for hours and hours without being tired. Anyone has some second hand maybe? :)
And another thing is to go for biamping. I will buy special dedicated amplifier for bass. Anthony Gallo SA amp that will drive only bass units on my speakers. Still need to do trying before official decision.
best, d.
