Description

My set was collected / put together over many years. I bought this all used, in NL and Germany via various websites (that included a weekend to Berlin & back to go get the NEMO's). Roaming the web has become as much part of the hobby as listening I guess.

I have been using the computer as a front-end for some years and try to keep up with development in that area. Currently experimenting with room measurement & EQ/DSP as part of JRMC to further optimise acoustics (I have a treated room; based on Soundscapes measurements & design; prime focus was RT).

I went tube lately (from SS Krell) with the REF3. I don't have a clue why & how but I love what it does to the sound!

Will try post pics as soon as I have time..
