Very nice system. How do you like the Marantz KI-Pearl player?Filling out , posting a Virtual Systems page is easy.

Happy Listening!

@jafant The Marantz is a nice player, it has that nice warm but detailed Marantz house sound. It doesn't get a lot of use though.

I have 4 complete systems, so yeah, filling out the system page seems a little daunting and isn't high on my list of priorities.

Right On! not many KI-Pearl players were manufactured. You are fortunate to own one. Out of the (4) systems, are you into Streaming ? Vinyl ?
Happy Listening!

circling back around to your query;Yes, I have been playing around with low-tier Cabling that I borrow from a friend. All gear and speakers are dialed-in, into my room, as such.In between time away from work, I am in the process of auditioning Reference level cables/cords. Still, have not settled on a definitive brand at this time. Too many Cables/cords, so little time. It feels good to have the gear portion completed.
And yes, the presentation and sound are fully satisfying. Reference cabling will elevate to the next Aural level. I seek out every nuanced detail in the Music. A perfect balance of clinical and musical. It can become accomplished.

Happy Listening!

@jafant In response to your question about my systems...

System 1 (main system, with the 2.3s) - this is a combined home theater / 2 channel system.  Focus is more on vinyl, but I also stream here and spin a silver disc occassionally.

System 2 (computer room) - this is where I spend time in the morning, drinking coffee, catching up on emails and other stuff.  It's a near field system.  I primarily play grade records here and catch up on new music releases on Qobuz.

System 3 (home office) - 95 percent of my listening here is to FM radio while I work (news and jazz).  It also has a turntable and a DAC connected to my laptop but these rarely get used.

System 4 (bedroom) - mostly streaming, also listen to headphones.  This is also a combined home theater two channel system.
