Minimalist

Toshiba SD-9200 -- cdp
Classe CAP-151 -- integrated
Polk Audio LSi-15 -- speakers
Dh labs Q-10 silver sonic -- speaker cable
DH labs BL-1 -- interconnect

Sony DEJ-100 - portable cdp
Sennheiser HD-580 -- headphones

With a pair of Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods in the closet for something different.
This minimalist system works well for me.

We get asked about different types of equipment that work well with Nuforce all the time. So, please post your setup here but refrain from turning this topic into a discussion thread. We just want to have a centralized place to list everything. By posting here you also give us permission to post it on our website.

People who are interested in discussing what components work well with NuForce should take it to their respective topics (or just PM the poster).

Thanks!
Jason
