100W Intergrated Amplifier. A very engaging sound that has paired nicely with both sets of speakers I've used. While I originally bought it to tame the Triangle Comete ES speakers, it's now truly shining on the Dynaudio's.
Simaudio Moon Equinox
cd player / black. Just using it as an overpriced visually-matched transport for now, but I still don't regret buying it. While it seems to add a very slight dark colored sound, compared to the benchmark DAC1, it still sounds very detailed on its own.
Benchmark DAC1
1/2-width DA converter. Truly excellent and detailed sound. Best one-word description: "wow"
Dynaudio Contour S 1.4
Danish 2-way monitor speakers. Very good soundstaging and clarity. Amazingly good at conveying high-end detail without sounding harsh or fatiguing. Very easy to listen to for long periods.
Sunfire Solitaire 10
The highest complement to any subwoofer is not noticing that it's there. The Sunfire has done a great job of fleshing out the frequency range of speakers I've used without drawing attention to itself. It's a true upgrade to any stand-mount speakers I've used in my system.
Solid Steel - don't remember the model number
I had no idea the $4 investment in sand from Home Depot would seriously improve the sound from my speakers, but filling these metal stands actually appears to have made an improvement.
Quite a nice attempt! All very high-value gear. The Benchmark is especially good. My friend has one, and I'm consistently blown away by how good it sounds for the price. Where do you plan to go from here?
