Components Toggle details

    • Gallo Acoustics Reference Strada 2
    x12
    • Gallo Acoustics TR3-D subwoofer
    x2; 300w continuous, 600w peak, per sub
    • Hobby Lab custom cables / interconnects
    sonically superb, so sorted & solved ;)
    • Sound Master No. 88.3 Integrated
    Preamp with 6SN7 / 6SL7; power = KT88
    • Musical Fidelity A3.5 Integrated
    Sure, bit lightweight, but more than enough for this job. Overkill competitors were not remarkably different, and this is one of those cute senior citizens.
    • OPPO Sonica DAC
    The DAC, the whole DAC, and nothing but the DAC (Sonica app is long-dead).
    • Korg DS-DAC-10R
    Fun because it looks like a swanky little Apple product ( #convo_piece ) but sounds enough like other decent DAC’s.
    • Raspberry Pi 3b+ ; 4b
    One or the other model depending on what I’m up to, either/or with “official PSU” (gasp away) and Wicked Aluminum case.
    • Yaqin Audio MS-22B
    Phono stage with the Les “mods”, 3x 12ax7 Full Music’s.
    Phono = phun over phidelity in this setup, so no worries!
    • Pro-Ject RPM-3
    A decade old and still spinnin’ right, roundbaby!

Really cool looking speakers. Is there a crossover or are you feeding the array full bandwidth? Or do you use the crossover in the subs to break it down?
Room looks cool as well. Is it not acoustically treated by design or you just didn’t get around to it yet?
