Description

I have owned the TDL’s since 2009. This system sounds very warm, liquid, and enveloping. The TDL’s create a very real and deep stereo image. The Shunyata Sigma PC provides power to the Jaeger Audio parallel 211 stereo amp. The amp’s sound is very sweet and realistic. Almost infrasonic bass. Amp is spring isolated ( as are all other components ) and easily drives the TDL’s. I also have eight HFC 0.5’s and use the HFC contact cleaner. Qobuz streaming through a DMP-A8 ( dual LPS ) with a 4TB SSD for local storage. One Ethernet cable, a Linkup CAT8. One pair of Cardas interconnects. Best PC’s I can afford. Shunyata Delta PC on the A8 improved its sound dramatically. The A8 has burned in and blossomed after~400 hours’ operation.

All equipment sits on Atacama SE 2 stands and spring isolators. Linn TT and Herron sit on Kepler isolators.
