[IAMBLEST]

Ive just ordered my speakers so pics will come soon
 

 
Setup is as follows :

Mark levinson 334 power amp 

Parasound Halo P5 Pre amp 

Clearaudio concept turntable with AudioTechnica ATOCiii MC cartridge

Cambridge audio Azur 651p phono stage 
Martin Logan Motion 60XT Speakers. 

Jl audio fathom f113 subwoofer 

Sony xa7es cd player 

Cables are transparent audio music link and music link plus.
 
I know the room isnt well set up - i will be moving house next year and having a dedicated room with proper acoustic treatments done for this. Those speaker stands will be replaced by the martin logans.

Cables are transparent audio music link and music link plus as well as balanced XLRs for the sub and CD player
 
just started the run in process and it sounds really nice.  I really dig this subwoofer.  I set the crossover at 80hz so far and it seems to be right.  It's a bit overkill for the room but ill have a dedicated room next year when i move out.

Very nice system!

 

[IAMBLEST]

  Very nice system!

Cheers mate
 
Ive done a lot of research and went a bit over budget - but the pieces seem to come together and now i have it ready.  by next year this will have a dedicated room and the full acoustic treatment.

Thats what i hear at the moment. DCS Vivaldi DAC fed with a custom server (Win 2012, HQ Player and audiophile optimizer), air tight ATM-300 with takatsuki 300B and LST (Lundahl based Stax transformer) and my Orpheus I . It sounds beautifully.

Here's one my Sony PCM-7010F DAT Recorders. Now, about 23 years old, these PCM recorders are still as useful as when purchased new back in 1993; and, they sound better than any other source component in my system. I paid about $7200.00 for this unit and today it's probably only worth about $300.00. Thing is, this unit is still an excellent device for playback and recording to and from my laptop. Nothing I've heard since purchasing these has sounded better.

Would something like this be good for digitizing vinyl records? I've seen the PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter and wondered if paying $1,800 for the ADC piece alone was overkill, and if this thing is that good, then the answer is yes, that's overkill/overpriced. Or do you think there might be some value in paying that much more anyway? Maybe the DSD?

Enjoy

I want that couch!  

 

[galacticsoap]

LOL - I want that DAC....and Amp...and server
 
@Fririce0003 - Custom Roxanne's in the gym mate? How'd they go i.e. do they fall out?

Hahaha, well it's not quite the same DAC, but I've been thinking about selling my LH Davinci if you're keen
Regarding the Roxanne's, they stay in really well, don't budge. They stay in better than my Shure Se535's and are infinitely more comfortable. They also do an excellent job at blocking out the horrible music they usually have blasting at the gym. They're big in ears, but with the customs once you pop them in they don't protrude at all.
Though I mostly lift weights as opposed to cardio workouts, so not as much of an opportunity for them to dislodge.

First and last selfie I'll be taking at the gym, but as you can see from the pic, they're not at all intrusive.

Hahahaha, I'd be too worried about damaging the equipment doing deadlifts. Dropping 200kg a couple of times next to tubes, your a braver man than I
