Basic, but I'm having fun.

That's just about like my set up and it is fun.

Fair enough. This may be difficult to put into words, but when you say “more musical” can you explain what you mean a bit? It might be easier to contrast with the wa33. I’m genuinely interested.

There's alot more 2nd Harmonic Distortion on the red october which makes things sound more real to me plus the midrange is crazy. Im pretty sure ampsandsound amps are known for their midrange (I've only heard the red october). Everything is smoother but also softer and easier to listen to but its more laid back compared to the wa33, it's less analytical than the wa33 but also fuller sounding overall. The wa33 to me is like a very high end solid state amp with about 30% of the red october tubiness. Wa33 wins for imaging, separation, transient response, slam and bass impact.

They are both fantastic, just very different and basically the complete opposite of each other which is why I own both lol

That window really looks fascinating: the curving horizontal metal bars & the two oval whatever-they-are (light fixtures? hockey masks for aliens?), which also have interesting metalwork.

Trying to go through all the pictures. Looking for the cleanest setup that has the audio rack on the desk. My plan is to get some bookshelves or floorstanding on the sides of my 72" wide desk. I don't want the rack to get in the way. Any ideas?

I will probably have the Dave+Farad3, AHB2 and Envy. So 3 tiers should be enough.

@Somatic congrats on great setup Your picture almost makes me want Dave instead of TT2 into Envy

@ThanatosVI except for different tubes what else is missing?

Still the Rockna Wavelight Server that I pre ordered in 2021.
As well as the DCA Corina.

And the amp for the Corina, which will probably be announced during munich high end officially.
