Yes sir! I love Forza cables. They are super supple, lay straight, are lightweight, have zero microphones, and sound killer. They are reasonably priced as well, so what's not to love.

True, all true. Love my Forza HPC Noir (2M balanced).

It's nice to see somebody else with an Audeze + Audio-GD system. Something really magical happens when you pair the two.
I'm currently using my LCD-3s with the D27.28 and loving it.

This is my third Audio-gd setup. First was the Audio-gd R2R-11 with LCD-2C (classic). Then I upgraded to the Audio-gd NFB-28.38 which was followed soon after by an upgrade to LCD-X. Now with the R-28 and LCD-X, it is truly a beautiful pairing. It also sounds great paired with the Sennheiser HD800.

What has my eye now is the new R-27, which is the big R2R DAC and a Master 9 amp in one case. Waiting for some reviews before I commit.

(edit I had the model numbers transposed)

Yeah, it doesn't look cheap. It is really hard to find the right mix of form and function when you live in an apartment. I bought what I thought was a nice looking, functional cabinet. Within weeks I realized that wasn't going to work and then I started hunting for shelving units to put on top. Got that all set up and working well, but I can't help but think that it could use something else. Like the gear itself, the hunt never seems to end.:yum:

Yeah that's it. Black hole for money... I have an apartment also so I know what you mean. It is actually quite roomy but there are windows and shelving everywhere so there is almost no space for anything on the floor. Whatever I put anywhere will block a window or door or shelf...

Somebody needs to invent a rack with built in vacuum. One of my minidisc decks is making bad recordings after a year sitting in the rack.

I had the NFB-10SE for 7 years and the LCD-2 for 8 before upgrading and it was a world of difference. It's going to be a few years before I upgrade to whatever TOTL amp Audio-GD has available but I'd be interested to hear your experiences when you do pull the trigger on the R-28.

Sorry about that I had the model numbers transposed. I have the R-28 now. It is the R-27 that just came out with no reviews yet. Hate it when I do that.

A couple of new additions to the system. Technics SL-1200 MK2(which I had in storage for the last 15 years. I purchased this new in 1993 or 1994) into the new Eddie Current Classic tube phono pre-amp.

I'm happy with this new addition and had forgotten how magical vinyl was. Though I love a 24-bit/192Khz high resolution digital file like the next guy. There is something just very easy on the soul and deeply satisfying about analog.

New comer arrived today in my arsenal : a Stax SR009s.

It complement my SR009 and my beloved old HE500. I am now waiting for delivery of a ZMF Verite Closed.
