My stereo


I have completed my "forever" hifi system yesterday with the addition of the AI Modulus 2C. The pre-amp has been repaired and it lives again. This is shortly after getting the Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II speakers and four identical Kenwood L-05M mono block power amps. I play digital audio content off Quboz through my SMSL DO100 Pro DAC with digital volume control. The 32-bit digital volume control on the DAC allows me to control volume with the remote and reduce the level of the input, making the pre-amp function with modern sources, in a more modern way (one volume control instead of two on pre-amp, with remote control). This system is very important to me as it gives me an escape into the land of music exploration. Now that I've gotten everything working I am going to leave it alone. No touching tubes, wires, or anything like that. I'm using WBC Mogami 2964 cables throughout. 6 foot interconnects from pre-amp to amps. 0.5 foot between DAC and pre-amp. I also use a Furman AC-215A power conditioner with everything.

Congrats to you.  I'm an older retired audiophile who, after all these years, finally managed to assemble my end-game "forever" audio system earlier this year.  I  opted to omit CD and vinyl from my end-game, off into the sunset, audio system because I just no longer feel like fiddling around with them anymore.  I thoroughly enjoy streaming via Qobuz, Tidal, and also via ripped CDs to my hard drive.  Easy, relaxed, carefree, with truly awesome sound!!!  Happy listening.
