I would, but I have no money left after buying new keyboards and monitors due to smashing them out of frustration.  :lol:

I like MAC for laptops but unfortunately I hate laptops.  Unfortunately I have upgraditis with computer as well as audio.  So I buy PC so my wife doesn't leave me and to keep me out of the poor house.  Since I build the systems myself thus picking great components, and install good Virus/ spyware protection I can usually get 5-7 years out of a PC for about 1/4 the cost of a comparable MAC.  Gets me past the break even just barely assuming the PC will be closer to cutting edge for longer and the MAC will probably last 10+ years.  So I figure 2 $800 cutting edge PCs in 10 years  vs. one $3000 MAC.  To each their own.

I was supposed to go today with the local Subaru club.  My wrx engine blew on Tuesday.    :(

I'm excited that gateway is open again though. Such a shame to watch it sit the last year....

I did some mega -serious gear updates these past two weeks, so here's my updated system


My system is:
Rega RP3/TTPSU with Groovetracer Reference Subplatter and Counterweight
Dynavector 20x2H cartridge
Simaudio Moon 110LP phono preamp with Welborne Labs PSU
Naim Audio NAP250.2 power amp
Transparent Audio interconnects
Naim Audio NACA5 speaker cable
REL Serie T-7 sub
Dynaudio Contour S1.4 speakers with Stand4

Gone: Naim Audio UnitiQute (preamp and digital streamer)
Added:
 Naim Audio NAC202 preamp
 Naim Audio HiCap PSU
 Naim Audio NAPSC PSU
 Naim Audio ND5 XS 24/192 & iRadio network player (w/Burr Brown PCM1791A DAC)

This is a huge step up in sound quality.  :green:

RT,

At some point you might try a set of Transparent speaker cables to match the Transparent IC.  I borrowed the 8' set of Catastrophe's (listed on the GAS trading post thread currently) & bought a longer pair soon thereafter.  Good stuff.  When budget allows i'll try their IC's for sure.

I have a pair of Transparent MusicWave speaker cables. They make my Naim system sound worse. The Naim power amps -- especially those in the classic series, NAP200 and above -- are tuned for their own NACA5 speaker cables in lengths of 3.5-10M with 5-7M being optimal. I am using the optimal 6M lengths.

When I had a Naim UnitiQute the Transparent sounded better, but once I added Naim power amp into the mix, it went the other way.

Well, maybe a 1/10th. The music takes up at least 90% of the fun.  :lol:

I'd ditch that POS Naim amp and buy some real equipment.  Then you could take these cables off my hands!!   :lol:

After all, what's in a Naim?   :D
