Description

The first time in many years that I haven't had a system based on vacuum tubes. While the tube electronics are put away, I'm really enjoying this solid-state system and realizing that good solid-state could be a permanent thing, especially with all the analog sources I have. But who knows what the future holds, I'm just enjoying this system every chance I get to listen.

Cheers,
Anthony

@bob540 Thank you for your kind words, I’ve upgraded slowly through the years, started with a home theater in a box, lol!
My gear is nice but nothing compared to the “All Out Assault” guys.

Wow!  Your gear is worth more than my entire house!   😳.  Very impressive.

@tubegb thank you! I appreciate your compliment. Yes, the difference first reflection diffusers make is as drastic as a major component upgrade.

Amen regarding your first reflection point comment. What a beautiful rig!

For the critical first reflection, I'm actually using an older diffuser product that works much better, the first reflection is SO important!  The GIK hybrid product I have is diffuser/art so I just use it to fill out the rest of the room. 
The pictures are taken from my older gen iPhone so nothing special.

Very cool then. I should probably use some lens like that. You have some excellent gear there. I have never had GIK diffusers. Should try at some point. They look neat in your setup.

milpai, thank you for your comment. The room is 14x18x9, I think the camera angle makes it look larger than reality.

Very nice setup. Looks like a fairly large room. TBH, in the thumbnails, it almost looked like a AI generated room. Very cool. Have fun with your music.
