The AGD Audion Mk3 monoblocs fronted by the Holo Serene KTE preamp, Holo May KTE Dac, and Jay's Audio CDT 3 Mk3 cd transport have all finally broken in and have achieved a glorious smooth sound not lacking in any detail. At this level of refinement it was surprising to discover that the Jay;s Audio transport upsampling toggle switch (176.4 K) has now come into its own and is engaged most of the time. Sometimes the Primaluna EVO 400 tube pre is swapped in, but that is happening less and less as the system manages to play solid state only with beauty and PRAT. Part of this victory may also be due to the extraordinary Audio Magic M2 fuses installed in the monoblocs.
It has been a great relief to have finally "gotten somewhere" with a system, and that has been due in no small part to the advice and direction received from members of this forum.
