Well it sounds like we are dealing with some of the same products and manufacturers as I have the older sound apllication conditioners(one each for preamp, trnsport and DAC) and have fm acoustic interconnects, digital cable and a couple of the older AC wires- the newer ones are not yet available so I have temporised with K-S ac(MUCH MUCH better than the MACS-you can have my old MAC's way outclassed for years).
My speakers are long out of production Artemis EOS-I'm told the Ventures are the way to go but cannot afford for now.
My DAC is the Weiss media- have not cross auditioned others but dealer I have come to trust says he can find no better-the transport is key- it's an esoteric(i think UX-1)that has been modified electriclay by Great Northern Sound-Esoteric makes impeccable mechanical devices but uses rather ordinary electronic parts-these are all replaced with high quality caps ect. and it is just awesome! Mike Salminski's cornerstones and stand is crucial to isolation.
The sound would not be the same if i did not de-stat the system (most crucialy the speaker drivers using my trusty Mapleshade static gun.
