So, this isn't the typical Revel Studio system with massive solid state amplification. This is a state of the art tube amplified system with a pair of the best monoblocks and possibly the best line stage made. I simply love it.
The cabling is all discovery and audience, which was recommended to me, and I really love. Its a really great value, as I'm a cable believer, but really reluctant to purchase the mega $$$ cables.
Same with the source, my new modded Denon 2900 is wonderful. It gives me access to all current standards and it really sounds great. Once the format wars end, I'll get something really great. The one downside is the need for a tv to configure it correctly.
The rack. I know there are lots of voices and choices. The sistrum is amazing. I love it. It actually improves the sound, and it looks great. My fiance doesn't agree, but, hey, beauty is the eye of the beholder.
Get the exact power system if you need a decent, not so expensive power solution. Small, silent, powerful, and a great improvement to the AC signal feeding my system.
can you give some details about the mods that have been implemented in your 2900? i just had a 2900 done by apl hi-fi that is absolutely amazing.my system
Interesting observation that the price of your sources appears to be out of whack with the rest of the system. Not a complaint - just an observation. Enjoy the tunes.
I've actually talked to robert about the platforms and have considered getting them. The problem is that the base of my speakers isn't flat, but a continuation of the glossy black speaker with rounded edges, but two side panels. I've considered getting them, though...maybe I should...alas, nirvana doesn't grow on trees...
Probably will give robert a call and see what he recommends.
Thanks for your comments, TWL. You've always provided sound advice here.
Nice system. If you like the Sistrum Rack, then I think you'll also like the Sistrum Speaker Platforms. I don't have the rack, but I do have the platforms, and they really make a difference in the sound. Way more than I thought they would. I'll probably get a rack in the near future. You'll be surprised at the improvements when you try the speaker platforms. They will remove colorations that you didn't even realize were there, or thought were "inherent" in the speaker. Also, you will get an extra db or two in efficiency. I think they work great. Best speaker tweak that I know about.
