Description

For me the room is the critical component, hence the GIK treatments, which made a startling difference in the way my other components sound. No, you don't see any cable supports, power conditioner, Roon nucleus,hospital-grade outlets, etc.--at least not yet. I used to have a Merrill Heirloom table with a Klyne 6L phono preamp, but most of the classical music I prefer now is digital and not put onto vinyl. I seldom use the Planar even though you see a fair number of vinyl discs under it. I got most of those records years ago at garage and estate sales,way before high-rez streaming (Qobuz for me) became a reality. I listen with only a usb/battery-powered light at low level, so I didn't install any fancy lighting in the room. How it sounds, not how it looks, is what matters most to me.
