What Makes your System Special?


Could be anything but interested in what makes it special for you.   Is there something you would want to change?

What makes mine special?  Starts with the shortest signal path.  Dac runs direct to the mono amps via balanced XLR connections.  Amps are located at base of the open baffle speakers and connected with 1’ of DIY speaker cable.  Servo controlled open baffle DIY subs.  Room is diffused live end / absorbed dead end. Ekornes stressless lounger.  Fatigue free - always.

Future improvements would be ceiling treatments...a larger room, possibly.

(I run DAC Cherry amps and dacs feeding Spatial Audio speakers.  Subs are GR Research)


My system is so so special because for hours and hours, years and years they make me tap my feet with pleasure and joy, period!
Careful auditioning and selection of gear, so system has been built to the type of sound I prefer, allowing me to listen to high quality music reproduction for hours on end.
Desire to change anything? Only to exchange tubed gear for solid state (to reduce maintenance effort, cost of new tubes, reduce warm-up time with the ability to keep the system on 24x7 so I could listen at a moment's notice) without spending loads of cash and without losing any sound quality. But I think this is not possible. So no.
