Description

This is the end result of 8 years of buying and upgrading. This is its final stage and I could not be happier. I decided to let go of any digital playback since I just could not appreciate it anymore when I started to get really serious on to vinyl.

The Inspiration is just an awesome piece of engineering. The Rowland preamp and amps are the best!!!

As you may see, I have some ASC tube traps and some other acoustical treatment. This is my main focus now. I will add more diffusion to the room in order to get a more relaxed and open presentation.

Any advice is welcomed. Greetings from Mexico!!

Thank you for the Paco. I will be adding some GIK 244 panels to my sidewalls to address reflections well as my bass mode of 63hz. I would love to use ASC Tube Trap but it's just too expensive for me.

Hi Tboooe!!

They are GIK 242 acoustic art panels. They really work well and look awesome, highly recommended!!

Indeed acoustical room treatment is much more important than what is generally accounted for. Unless you have a treated room, there is no way of fully enjoying your gear.

The Kipods are just incredible. They are really detailed yet not analytical. The overall presentation is perfectly balanced with nothing standing out. Very musical. For small and medium rooms, I guess there is no better option.

Excellent. I would love to hear your thoughts on the YG Kipods. Also, are you using GIK panels on the front wall? Room treatments made the single biggest improvement in my system. Also have you considered improving your power? That was another area where I got huge improvement.
