My 2 channel system started in 1998. Many upgrades fast and furious up until about 2003. I then got away from it for other outside interests in the mid 2005 timeframe until Nov 2021. (It sat unused in my listening room) I retained my Shunyata Black Mamba and BIC Whale power cords and Shunyata Hydra Power center. I also kept my CEC TL1x CD transport and Orchid Digital cable. I kept the heart of my system my VAC CLA 1 MK II preamp, which I just got upgraded to Mk III staus this October 2022. I have my VAC Renaissance 70/70 Mk II amp, which go's in January 2023 for the Mk III upgrade. My New equipment is as follows:
DAC- Dinafrips Venus II
DDC- Dinafrips Hermes
Aurender N 200
Enos ethernet filter to CXN V2.
Speakers are Goldenear Triton 1.R.
Speaker cables are Silversmith Fidelous
Interconnect is Wireworld Eclipse 8.
I also have some other power cords by Shunyata and Wireworld.
I have a dedicated listening room in my basement with a great deal of room treatments in the forms of bass absorbers, corner traps and diffusion.
I have Wireworld Sliver Electra 7 power cords to my DAC and Aurnedr N200, I have the Electra 7 on my DDC.
Once I have everything back in place I will have some pictures of it. I love the sound of tubes.
