^ It's the Leben CS600

 
 

 
Wow, awesome!
The Leben/Omen combo has been on my potential purchase list for a while now. I've even considered buying them "blind" so to speak as opportunities for an audition are scarce this side of Ice Station Zebra.
While I can easily imagine this to be a great set up for Vivaldi, how does it fare with other types of music from say, Jazz to modern pop/rock?
Is this a fairly universal system or are there trade=offs a potentially interested purchaser with highly eclectic musical tastes should consider?
Any impressions you'd care to share would be most welcome.
Cheers.

Here's my computer rig. Not as impressive as some of the other rigs on here, but I enjoy it

Thanks! The Zu Omens and Leben CS600 will not disappoint you. The Omens will transcribe anything the Leben throws at it; It seems that the Omens are made for the Leben (both the CS300X and CS600). Vivaldi certainly shines but my taste ranges from grounding classical music to the stratospheric rock music.
 
These are the LPs that I have listened to in the last 2 days. All incredible sounding. Especially music from the 60s like Nancy Wilson and Gabor Szabo Bacchanal (original on Skye Records I got as a teenager).

I've set up a listening station so that my dinner guests can listen to some of their favorite recordings while I make Mexican Posole (well attempt to). If the Posole doesn't turn out to be good, then I can always order a few pizzas from Uncle Vito's!

Few pics of my setup.  Just got the Maverick Tubemagic a1 (rca 5654 black plate tubes) for Christmas, loving it so far.  Dt 990 pros are good for the price, but a little to bright for me, im looking around for a used hd 580 to buy.

Simple setup in desperate need of amplifier and source upgrade. Was looking at both the Schiit Bifrost and Valhalla, but not sure which to go with first.

 
If you'd only be using it through USB I'd take a serious look at the Modi as well, it's very close to the Bifrost's USB mode at less than 1/4 the price.
