Small, Multi purpose room. Two GIK bass traps and two 4x2 ceiling panels. Rear wall is angled with closet doors that I keep partially open since there’s no space to install absorption material.
Very happy with the sound overall. Will upgrade streamer at some point. Have thought about amp upgrade at some point (SET or Linear Tube Audio?). If upgrading amp would also likely look for something with a decent headphone amp included (for Hifiman HE1000 Stealth)
Big fan of Omega since I got them. Crossover-less design sounds clearer to me. At 68 years old I don’t miss lack of a dedicated tweeter… would like to try Devore O series if I ever got into a bigger room…
Eastern Electric M520 Integrated
18/24 Watt EL34 P/P
NOS signal and Rectifiers
New Mullard EL34 (Golf Lion were punchier but too bright, considering PSVane)
Bluesound Node 2i w/LPS
Sounds pretty good but probably my weak link. Stream 90% of the time.
Denafrips Pontus II DAC
Upgraded from Ares II and very happy with the sound. Very natural to me. Would like to use the i2S input if I upgrade streamers (don’t really want to add another box for a DDC)
SVS SB1000 sub
Works for me - clear, tight, ample bass. Integrated well, not enough room for a second sub
Furman Power Station 8
Various Cables and Interconnects
Will add model/names later
CAT8 to Streamer: Supra
Streamer to DAC: Kimber
DAC to amp: Audio Art Cryo
Speaker cables: Supra Rondo
Sony Basic CD/DVD player
Another week link but not likely to upgrade given how little I play CD’s…
