Glad to be a new member here and hope to contribute, but mostly learn from the more knowledgeable members.
I am continuing to build a budget conscience two channel main system. My current goals are to improve my network system via USB filtering, re-clocking, cabling, server tweaks, or whatever members can recommend. I am using JRiver, Exact Audio Copy, JRemote, and a Windows XP computer as a server with the SOTM SMS-200.
Here is my current system:
AMP - Rogue Atlas Magnum or McCormack DA-1 rev. 1
PREAMP - Modwright SWL 9.0SE
CD PLAYER - Marantz 6005 - with Blue Jeans rca cable
DAC - Wyred4Sound DAC2 SE with Blue Jeans rca cable
NETWORK PLAYER - SOTM SMS-200 with WireWorld Starlight 7 USB 2.0 cable
TURNTABLE - Rega Planar 3
CARTRIDGES - Audio-Technica AT-440ML AT440ML or Sumiko Pearl or Clearaudio Aurum Beta S
PHONO PREAMP - Musical Surroundings Phonomena II with Blue Jeans rca cable
