Description

THis is my latest set up.

My room is rather large,but the speakers are up to the task.

Some sidewall treatment and some ASC tube traps,so the room is not too dead.

Power to all gear is from dedicated lines, amps on a separate line.

Furutech products have been a real improvement opening up the amps.As are upgraded fuses( Iso Cleans,HiFi, AMR)

The speaker/amps maybe old but they have been modded and to my ears(compared to other systems I've used in this room)they are on par with systems costing much more than I can afford.

The Lightspeed Attenuator is great also in the clarity dept.

Well spoken Lacee! Once I have established the basis for my system (loudspeakers and matching amp and that took many years, upstream devices), I have gone through some iterations to improve power, cabling, isolation and, as far possible, room treatment (WAF). During the iterations, I made upgrades to the components. It is a merry go round that I am happily sitting in as the journey is fun to be.

Going to select dealers and audio shows provides good reference points.

Lacee, I did very similar upgrade (FI-48 for power cords and 108R for RCA jacks) and am happy with the improvement.
