Hi all,
My name is Alex (call me Al), I live a few miles away from Paris, France, been into HT since 2002.
I was passing by and I saw some light so decided to come in!
and after seeing all the great setups you guys have I decided to share mine which is actually under mutation.
I'm moving into a new appartement so decided to renew some of my gear, as I'm a nice guy
I'll spare you the details of all my previous gear and stick to the actual and the incoming one, that way I'm sure you won't fall a sleep!!
At present time all the video sources are connected to the Crystalio for the video and to the Krell for the sound, once the Onkyo gets home only the Oppo and the Onkyo will be connected directly to the Crystalio.
any advise or critics are more than welcome!!
