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

@stuartk thank you for the advice on the 590. I will definitely get one to try out before I buy it. My 390 is giving me what I need for now.

The Qstab was a good addition. More bass response and the thing I notice more than anything is that piano notes have a more realistic tone to them. I love it!

@baclagg 

You're welcome.

Thanks for the feedback on the QStab. 

I have heard the same thing from others. 

Not sure it would be worth the expense, in my case. 

Well, if you a) have deeper pockets and b) you're sure that you won’t have to start alimony payments anytime soon (i.e., don’t have such worries).... keep the "what if" question perpetually open and keep buying all kinds of things.
