@ benzman: Thank you, that sounds very promising. I guess since Hi/Mid chassis in B and the larger F’s are the same, the revealing hi frequency part and their need for cautious cable matching is the same. Will definitely check out your cables. Interestingly the Lindemann Source also uses an AKM chipset (AK4493), the Cary DMS700 I just checked even uses the newer AK4497. About the 3F - unfortunately no chance - she can”r connect to large Hi-Fi gear standing around in the living room 😆.
I expect connecting and matching the sub will become an interesting challenge, I will try out the sub”s ARC software to achieve better results. The B+sub combo might lead to even better results compared to 3F if properly matched. The sub is supposed to have a lot of bass energy.
Another task will be to decide if and which tube preamp will lead to better overall sound without too harsh sound on less than ideal recordings. This is also important for me.
Best would probably be to find a fully loaded tube-dac-preamp-dsp, that does everything right
- rich forgiving tube sound
- quit preamp function
- no degrading volume control
- musical and transparent dac
- up to date streamer
- fully balanced design and connection
- room correction incl subwoofer matching
Any idea if there is such a monster 😄?
