I was speaking more in terms that you now have a nice, large audio unit that you need to fill up. :grin:

Ah, yeah. There's a list of things that will eventually come, depending on how work goes. Holo May KTE is on that list and some other fun items. There's also the possibility that some of my 2 channel things will go on that rack as well.

Small update in my chain since I last posted. Have replaced Metrum Ambre with Singxer SU-6 powered by Hypsos. One benefit of using SU-6 instead of Ambre is the ability to pass 8x upsampled music via I2S to my DAC. Ambre is limited to 192Khz. Current setup gives a nice detailed, holographic sound with tube bloom.

Super clean, love it! Nothing like cable management with a standing desk. Very well done.

I like it ^^^

Nice. Clean. Simple.

thanks appreciated! Im glad you like it :)

Yeah that was a challenge especially because it is a Gaming / WFH dual setup so there is a lot of stuff to connect and all of that has to stay in place when i move the desk to the standing position . But of course there is that one random cable that drops out every now and then....

Ha, I share your struggle. A clean standing desk with a home desktop, a work laptop, and a bunch of audio gear is hard to organize. Well done.

I don't know if it's off topic or not (i will delete if it is) but i updated the Couch side of my Hifi Station :
Cambridge Audio CXR120 > Heco Direkt

07-3240x2160.jpg


08-3240x2160.jpg


(my PS5 is currently missing on the top shelf)

Desktop side is still the same :
FiiO K9 Pro ESS > Denon AH-D9200
Denon PMA-50 > Sunfire HRS-SAT4 + Sunfire HRS-8

20230615-122518.jpg


Previously i also had another Denon PMA-50 with another 2.1 Sunfire HRS set for the TV/couch, but i decided to leave the sleeper side for something with "a bit" more visual presence :smile: I also wanted to have speakers that don't need a subwoofer (without breaking the bank), the Heco Direkt do the job very well with their 280mm driver, it goes down to 27hz (measured and "ear tested"), these rocks :metal:

Current State - Just had a couple more tube rolling adventures, and found the one's. . .

. . .followed by adding a couple of tweaks to the power side of things. The Puritan PSM136 w/UltimateXX PowerCable, Puritan GroundMaster, and Puritan RouteMaster, have all been added.

Now my system is so freaking incredible it's damn near a religious experience and a total out of body feeling everytime I listen. :astonished: There is speed, weight, texture, detail, impact, and holographic staging for days, with sounds flying all around my head and way outside the cups. Heck it doesn't even sound like I am listening with headphones anymore and I have reached Endgame no doubt. It took me 6 years, and a ton of research and money, but I can honestly say I am so satisfied I want for nothing. A good 300B amp with a killer DAC and clean power, is something everyone should experience. Talk about life changing and being there with the musicians, this system does it. :grin:

I'm also all about neat cabling, and especially where my PC builds are concerned as exampled here :)
