My daily departure
After a long day at dental school I need an escape from reality and music provides a great departure from hectic days. Feel free to comment or recommend other gear. Although my stereo sounds great to me, I have not had the opportunity to hear a lot of hi-fi stuff and thus I am not sure how good my set-up is in comparison to others. Thanks for looking.

Nice system for a student! You have good value componenta. I'm sure it sounds great.

It looks like you have tile floor. You might find the system to sound a little better if you extend the area rug to cover more of the floor in front of the speakers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.

I was also thinking about filling the stands with some sand but I'm not sure that it would make any notable difference in the sound.

That is one nicely assembled system. I've wanted the Anthem for a while but funds haven't allowed it. I've read good things of the EE DAC. How did you come to choose that one over others? Haven't heard from Swan in a while. Very nice.

"I was also thinking about filling the stands with some sand but I'm not sure that it would make any notable difference in the sound."

I think that filling the stands with sand, would certainly make a notable difference in the sound of your system. Metal stands have a tendency to "ring" and sand would certainly help dampen this effect.

I also agree with Cleaneduphippy. The difference is very noticeable with tighter bass and clearer more articulate sound.

Very nice setup. Very clean. I like your speaker stands.

I also own the 225 excellent very powerful amp.
