Well, I guess I must not be a true audiophile after all because this retired "formerly known as" a true audiophile no longer has an inexhaustible amount of funds to spend on expensive high end audio gear I'm all done. I don't even look anymore, LOl!!!
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.

Congratulations to anyone & everyone who has reached the end of being a "true audiophile"(according to @cohicks4 )& gotten off the merry go round! |
Hey there @freediver, First off, I am old😂...old enough to know a bitter audiophile when insulted by one for no good reason. Second, what's wrong with being a gear head? Even though we older audiophiles/gear heads have slowed down our purchases a bit, doesn't mean we want to stop pursuing audio excellence for the rest of our able days. This is the essence of being an audiophile, so lighten up Francis. |
