Since your current system is lacking in analog, do check out the Thomas Scheu designed turntables (and arm). These apparently have made quite a name for themselves in Europe, but have yet to make significant inroads in the U.S. From what I can tell, listening to these would be time well spent. Just a thought, -John
I'm moving--advice please
I am moving to Germany in about a month--really good job offer I could not turn down. Of course, this has some implications for my stereo and home theater setups.
My 2 channel system consists of:
Denon 5 CD carousel
NAD preamp
Proceed DAP
Phillips CD recorder
B&K 220 wpc amp
Martin Logan Ascents
Obviously, I'll have to run all above off a step down transformer which will be easy to obtain (I'm moving to a heavily US Military populated area).
At present, all components are running through a Quantum Octave power conditioner...I think I might have to score another one of those once I get to Europe to split the electrical load in half (probably run the speakers off one conditioner and all else off another one).
Anyone have any advice on precautions I should take running a system at 110 stepped down from 220?
Also, since I'll be "on the continent" any reccomendations on components/manufacturers I might want to scope out? The Eurodollar kicks in on 1 Jan 02, so if I time it right, might be able to save a buck or two as the exchange rates float to equilibrium...
Thanks (Vielen danke)
