The trouble with all this modern shit that does everything is that it doesn't do anything really good. It's all mediocre. Boring.

You'd think for two grand they could produce something a bit more aesthetically pleasing. That looks like a 1980's VCR!

one of the used amps i am looking at is a marantz pm66-ki.
on the back of the unit by the speaker terminals it says 8-16 ohms. would the fact that the dalis are 6 ohm be an issue?

the marantz pm7003 arrived today to replace my little denon. using it in power amp direct mode from the Embers line out.
not as warm sounding as the denon more natural though to my ears.

i have noticed a considerable difference between using the standard rca inputs as opposed to the "power amp direct" input. the sound quality on the latter is far superior. i guess this means the Ember is a much better pre-amp than the marantz built in one?

Yes, I think it probably is, Simon.

Rubbish phone pic for now of my newly scaled down desktop set up. Will take some better ones including some 'sexier' headphones when I get the chance. In the meantime...is anyone seeing double? PC -> Mojo -> DT-990 x2 Up top: Kameleon 2 desktop + PSU (have filters for both the DT-990 & HD650). Peaking out under the shelf: Project Polaris. Slowly but surely reclaiming my desktop (nobody offer me a Lyr)

Strange it displays fine here on both my computer and phone.
In terms of the image you're not missing much as visually it's quite a modest looking set up now. Sound wise I think I'm at the point where I am finally (taken me a while) happy with the DAC and amps I have though.
