Synergy
Hello Audiogon community. I'd like to share a quick story about synergy. Since my last post regarding the Luxman integrated amplifier purchase, I've turned the page - so to speak - on my beloved Maggies and the Luxman. I remodeled the house and my lady and I got married...both of which necessitated a downsizing of my system. Out the old and in with new, as the saying goes. Anyway, I sold the Maggies, and I bought a pair of SVS Ultra bookshelf speakers on closeout (the outgoing model). I then reached out to TMR Audio about a trade-in on the Luxman, and I settled on a Vincent SV 500 hybrid integrated amp. Streamer is still an older Bluesound Node and DAC is a Topping E50. Deep bass is handled by an SVS 3000 Micro. My new system sounds amazing! Everything just seems right now, not that it didn't before, but the Vincent and the SVS seem to be a perfect match. I'm at the point now where I'm off the equipment merry-go-round, and I can just enjoy the music. Synergy is a fantastic thing when you discover it. Care to share your stories about equipment synergies?
Regards,
Jerry

Good for you! You have discovered that more expensive kit doesn't always buy better sound. I also bought the SVS ultra for my son on a close out special. What a bargin! Paired with a SB-2000. Wow! it sounds incredible. We upgraded his amp to the Galion TS-A75 and then we switched out his DAC. Just for a fun experiment...we got an inexpensive Aune X-8 DAC on an 'open box special' for just over $200 and replaced the op-amp with the Sparkos ss2590 for another $100. This turned out to be the least amount of money that yielded the biggest improvement of all. ( replaced his Schitt Asgard). We're done!!
