Description

My current setup merits a little explanation. I'm moving out of my apartment in a few days but I needed to move most of my stuff out a couple days early. I decided I'd keep my system and a sleeping bag, hence the "minimal" presentation.

I love the synergy my components have. The Exposure, Neats and Phonomena are all extremely detailed and there's a lot of air and space to the music.

In this particular set-up, totally alone in a 12x14 hardwood room it's... boomy. Properly set-up, though, it images like a dream. The Neats have extraordinary tone too. Great bass control and presentation.

Next steps will probably be an upgrade of the turntable or cartridge, followed by a streaming solution. I'm also not very fond of the Kimber 4PRs, I think they're a little too laid back. Any suggestions would be welcome.
