The first time in many years that I haven't had a system based on vacuum tubes. While the tube electronics are put away, I'm enjoying this solid-state system and realizing that good solid-state could be a permanent thing.
The D'Agostino Progression and Classic combo has excellent tone and texture, the perfect SS if you prefer the warm side of neutral. With all my analog sources, the combination is organic, believable, and connects me to the music. You gain more resolution and neutrality as you move up the D'Agostino line at a loss of some warmth.
Very cool then. I should probably use some lens like that. You have some excellent gear there. I have never had GIK diffusers. Should try at some point. They look neat in your setup.
Very nice setup. Looks like a fairly large room. TBH, in the thumbnails, it almost looked like a AI generated room. Very cool. Have fun with your music.
