Components Toggle details

    • Holo Audio Serene KTE
    Preamp
    • Audience Forte F3 Power Conditioner
    • Playback Designs Streamer-IF
    This is streaming from Ethernet to SPDIF on the Benchmark DAC3B. I will also add a PBD Dream DAC to this streamer and us fibre optic from the Streamer-IF
    • CODA #16
    Killer amp with massive power and first 100 watts in Class A.
    • Audience FrontRow
    Speaker cable (never selling these)
    • Benchmark DAC3B
    A little hot on top but it works well with the CODA #16.
    • OPPO SACD
    A $200 used unit that sounds fantastic with the D.BOB. It replaced the Sony SCD-1 that died.
    • GeerFab Audio. D.BOB
    Incredible sounding DSD and PCM via the Schitt Yggi+ and Benchmark DAC3B. A cheap OPPO is the transport.
    • Yamaha NS5000
    This speaker sounds like a musical instrument.
    • Accuphase T-101
    A very nice, hot-rodded tuner, from a tuner expert.

My Thiel CS3.7 was sold and the guy who bought it is now selling it on USAM. He has painted it nicer than I had it. 

My current speaker is much better than the CS3.7. It is the Yamaha NS5000. Better driver material on the Yamaha and the same material on all 3 drivers, including the 12-inch woofer.

Cost is between 10k and 15k.

Love the room. Thats how you enjoy it. Life of having kids.  Always wanted Thiel 3.7, they rarely come up for sale. Been using my B&W 803 and Silverline Sonata II. Cheers

WyWire Diamond. 
I also have a set of WyWire Platinum in storage.

I am thinking of getting Audience FrontRow to replace the Diamond. I am using FrontRow in the office and like it a lot. The DIamond is also rather good, so this is a very low priority thing.

What speaker cables are you using with your Living Room system? Thanks!

Today it is just the room. Going to put something in here soon. Photos will help me communicate with remote audio dealers and others I want advice from.
