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

Congratulations on putting together a great system! I to have the H390 and I’m truly enjoying it!

@hilde45 

I also have the H390 and the Dac is good, I would in no way call it world class. It is far better than the Schiit Bifrost I have, but nowhere close to the Denifrips Pontus ll that I also have.

@rick_n I’ve got a nice one. Maybe too nice? Sometimes I wake up to silence after the spinning has long stopped...lol.

@wlp3 There are many articles out there about Schumann generators. They are devices that generate 7.83hz in the room. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth's surface and the ionosphere. I have four of them. I have found that they improve the depth of the sound stage and eliminate the glare associated with CD playback.
