That is the most transparent system! No inky 'blackgound' for you! Just back wall! The best part - no Schiit Laser Etch Diode! The worst part - aligning 6080 / 6AS7G tubes to the 'keyhole' in socket ....

It's not too hard with enough practice, and I have many years of double-blind testing under my belt.

Did you pack / throw away the bubble level? That piece looks squif. It must f##k up turntable tonearm anti-skating .

That's just photo distortion. I use a quantum-aligned spectrolaser that is calibrated monthly by the NIST to assure leveling within 0.0002" in all axes. It's really hard to see that in the picture I know, but just trust me.

You know that the thingamagig should be sent to AS$R for 'proper' evaluation !!

Good plan! And no worries about them wearing it out by actually listening to it.

Unplugged my Gold Note stack and in with the Eversolo DAC-Z8 and WiiM Pro to try out the synergy with my Feliks Echo mkII. Sounds great!

A couple current photos, listening to one of my Incubus Elegans amps through Focal Utopias, also running a PrimaLuna with Sonus Fabers.

Some new additions for 2024, the Holo Audio Bliss KTE h/p amp and Red network streamer. Very impressed with both! I think the Red especially can save me some money that was being used to buy CDs, and put that towards some new headphones. Still going strong with the HD800S!

Is that a volume controller on the right, and if so, the brand?

Furthest to the right ?

Oh, I see. You have something sitting on the WiiM Pro. Thanks. Very nice setup BTW.

I'm getting old(er) vintage so have simplified my setup. Here it is.

Ahh thats a door stop just to weigh it down. The ethernet cable is so stiff so the damn WiiM just moves around.

Yes they are lightweight. I have both the Pro and original puck WiiM. Love them for what they bring. Now I'm shopping for a new door stop! Splendid idea. Thanks
