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.
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.
