Description

Budget system in Ecuador= very hard to find components. very small room, I think it sounds great but I don't have something to compare it to, any suggestion will be very welcomed! I'm into jazz and classical music with some rock once in a while. I also watch action and adventure movies in Blu-ray.

Hi, sorry for answering so late I was away for a while.
I tried your suggestion but the center speaker just doesn't fit nicely below the tv.
the good news I got my turntable and my deck back from refurnishing!
and everything sounds great!
I'll post new pictures soon.
thanks

Thanks, so the VDAC is on my ongoing upgrades list.
Is it a good idea to put marble underneath the components and speakers? It's not that expensive here, so I was wondering if it would be a good upgrade. and if so is there good that is better than other and how thick should it be?
thanks for any advice.

Hi, thanks for the advice,
I connect the Airport Express to the Onkyo digitally and then I send the signal to the McIntosh.
via the preamp outs of the Onkyo, to the aux in the McIntosh preamp; after many experiments I decided this was the best way to go. If anyone has a better way I'll try it and post the results.
and yes one of my future upgrades is a DAC, I've being thinking about the Musical Fidelity V/DAC any advice on this one or another one in the same price range.
For now I'm refurbishing the Dual 1229 with high hopes of better sound and buying LPs, once in a while I find good stuff here in Ecuador.
thanks again, bests regards to Nick!

Hi, thanks.
my mother is from Cuenca, I'm glad you have enjoyed Ecuador.
yeah I think it's long way ahead, any suggestions? my room is tiny and I know that is a big problem, but for now it will have to do.

I'll post more pictures soon.
I'm really enjoying audiogon

Thanks! wow your stuff looks fantastic, thanks for writing on my first day, do you have any suggestions?, the dual is getting refurbished and I hope it ends up sounding better than the pioneer.
