Nearfield

Description

Possible upgrades:

Interconnect (longer runs)

Preamp

Svan Varitune V6 and V4 (locked to nodes)

Power chords for MM27

I had some ideas what i wanted.

First i new it was a total nearfield arrangement and absolutely no bass reflex design. No ceramique drivers, no ribbon tweeter.

A monitor and utterly homogenic and musical but not coloured. Not the "etched in glass" type of detail!

Deep bass (+low level detail) which must be clean tight and fast and no box contributions at all.

Open and clear mid and top.

    • Wadia 381
    New current conveyors (S7i gen 2).
    Serves as preamp in the meanwhile.
    • Wireworld Gold Eclipse 6 xlr
    Balanced in more ways than one.
    • MAC (My Audio Cable) Burly
    Silence and microdetails in spades from this power chord, when used at Wadia.
    Not recommended for use in a bright system!
    • Black Diamond Racing Cones, LM pillows and pits
    Mk4 for tighter and more resolving than Mk3 which are a bit warmer and softer.
    • SCC (String Suspension Concept) BASIC
    Platform for Wadia
    • Entreq Cat feets
    Using these as double feets under the SCC basic (4 pcs)
    • Barefoot sound Micromain 27

    Heavy and sturdy...
    • Track Audio Isolation cones
    Superbly worked out spikes cones.
    These are large and has a very deep cavity. This allow you to move spiked gear without risking the spikes sliding out and pierce the floor.

* Voodoo cables vertical right-angle 15 amp IEC adapter, allows PS Audio Perfectwave AC-12 connected to MM27 (anyone interested in this, might check the second post on my review of Sound anchors for MM27).
These adapters does not appear to implement any audible flaws.

* Kemp Elektroniks S/R plug (Shumann resonator).

Still looking for an alterative PC for Wadia. Sablon Audio Gran Corona is a top contender.

Essential Audiotools Noise Eater comes highly recommended (€145).
Try this piece, you can afford it;-)

Ceramiq gold on copper fuse for Rives Audio PARC.
A very nice upgrade with a positive audible effect (€7)
