Here is my 2 channel system.
Love the system. Hate the room.
We are building and waiting completion. New house/room will be a lot nicer.
I'm also OLED. 83 Sony A90J

Sweet! I have the 77" C8 from 5 years ago. OLED is the best, at least for me.

The perspective of that shot fooled me. Didn't realize how large the screen is.
For a point of reference. The Cygnus was 50” tall, 13.5” wide, and 27.5” deep and weighed 285lbs. The Estelon is nearly as tall and almost as deep at 23”. They like ok much smaller though due to the design. It also removes much of the cabinet. This helps immensely with imaging and aids in room placement.

Current State - After quite a bit of tube rolling and tweaking these past several months, I am extremely happy with where my system is at right now. In fact, it sounds so good, it's damn near perfection for my taste. :grin:

The synergy going on here is flat out magical, and I am totally blown away everytime I listen.

This hobby is awesome.

Is it really 79 degrees in your house or is that just the Heat Gain from your Elrogs?

That is more from the heat from a particularly hot day (107) in Texas, than the Elrog's. It was so hot the AC could not keep the temp below 79 without freezing up. I am normally around 75 and 77 max in my listening room when the temp outside is not insanely hot. Crazy weather these days. . .

That being said, I can feel heat radiating from the Elrog's and they can make my room 1 or 2 degrees warmer depending on how often the AC runs.

I couldn’t live like that. I keep my house 72-73 at all times 🥶

(Now that your listening station is squared away time to save up for a new AC) 😉

72-73 would be way too cold for me to be comfortable. 75 is just right for me. :sweat_smile:

Small lounge area at my b&m shop.

I’m looking to replace the RME for something that’s less inviting to turn knobs and dials. I do have a Topping D10 and am considering the Gustard H16. Is this the only sub $500 amp that has XLR I/O if in case I have to integrate it to the shop’s main system.
What is a b&m shop?

I have a Gustard H16. I'm reasonably sure it's the only (if not one of very few) amps <$500 that has full balanced I/O capability.

Are you in the US?
