Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well......


My wife hopes that I have my final system, but I am not going to guarantee that! I have recently been busy upgrading. I had Blue Jean Cables for coax and speakers and now I have Audioquest Rocket 33 speaker cables and Audioquest Carbon Coax. I also replaced my Audiolab 6000CDT with a Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3. I then upgraded the CD puck to a Headquarters Qstab. I ordered three more GIK panels this morning to complete their recommendations for acoustic treatments. After those are installed, I am going to keep it the same for a while. It sounds very good now but H590's are coming down in price........no don't look at those.....be happy with what you have.........but what if?

My current system:

Hegel H390 amp

Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3 Transport with Qstab

Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5 speakers

Isoacoustics Gaia II isolators

GIK Acoustics panels as recommended by GIK.

Audioquest Rocket 33 speaker cables

Audioquest Carbon Coax

Pangea Audio Vulcan Amp Stands

Furman PST8 power strip

Four Schuman Generators

128x128baclagg

@smaarch1 I had that problem until early this year. She wanted all my equipment out of the living room and luckily we have a couple of extra bedrooms. I sold the furniture in one and moved everything up. Ceiling panels were a big improvement.

I don't want to hijack the discussion, but...

Schuman generators...could someone elaborate on the benefits and where one would get them, please.

All that matters is that you are enjoying the journey, because I have a feeling you are not done with it. More pictures of your room layout would be more telling of what you achieved or not acoustic treatment wise. Sidewalls, ceiling and backwall treatments? Seems like an all out front wall treatment as presented.  As an example, in my house of stereo, the front wall has BY FAR the least amount of treatment of any others. And I started with specific recommendations from GIK.
