Description

Sonus Faber Strads, Im fairly new to this hobby but have assembled what I hope is a good system to start. Mcintosh c2300 Pre amp. Mc501 mono amps Vpi Super Scoutmaster turntable with dinavector 20x High output. And last weekend my Sonus Faber strads arrived. I was using some old linn 5140s I pursched about 10 years ago for my media room. And the linn bi amp speaker wire. Having bought all this equipment since march of this year my wallet needs to rest for a while. However I know I need to work on cables, but which ones and what should come next? I also have a benchmark DAC 1 and a dedicated mac mini with a dedicated 4 terabyte drive. Any advice on my system and what should come next would be welcome.

Hello Richard,

Very nice indeed. I can see you are using Itunes for your digital music. I would recommend you change to either JRiver (what Mcintosh labs use for testing) or Audirvana (my preferit). They both cost about 80$ but sound improvement is material. Both can be piloted via iPad. I looked at your system primarely for I am considering purchasing a Mc C2300 or a ARC Ref6 (newer, more expensive...). If any comment on tube preamp, don't hesitate contacting me. Thanks
