Description

This is my first system and I hope it is enough to keep me happy for a while. So far I am very happy with the system but my standards were rather low. I mainly use apple lossless through the apple tv or the cd player.

This is a small brooklyn apt - 9.5 feet wide and about 15 feet wide.

I originally was looking at the totem mites but found the DB1i used. I also looked at a pair of used AAD Silver Ones but missed out on them.

I would eventually like to add a turntable but right now no space for the vinyl.

I listen to just about everything.

I will likely update the tube in the preamp at some point.

Any thoughts on the system people? Any upgrades/tweaks you would suggest?

A good free upgrade tip for you is to cover the TV with a blanket (or similar material) while listening to strictly audio. This will not smear the sound due to the reflections from the TV screen. I had a similar setup like you a couple of years back and covering the screen was a big upgrade, as if focuses the sound rather than scattering it.
