Great setup!

I own AG UNO with Jadis and Cardas Golden Reference, some say Cardas is not the best match for AGs, what is your experience here?

Congrats!

i have been enjoying the duo/audiopax 88 monos combination for a few months now. lately, i have been wondering about further experimentation with even lower power 300Bs. is that something you considered/tried before you settled on the 88s?

System edited: The Cary SLP98P is breaking in and really opeining up. The CD-306 sounded great out of the box. I can't wait for it to burn in.

System is now sitting on a Arcici stand with air suspension. Also added changed to Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables. All power cords are now PS Audio Statement and Kimber PK-10.

System edited: Added Cardas Golden Reference RCA IC between pre and amp. Also added the F1 version of the Cary SLP 98P. Waiting for it to break in (so far, not great). It also is not as quiet as the AES was and each source is not totally isolated. You can hear the CD even when you change the input to something else. Time will tell if I will be happy with this pre.

very nice gear!, those speakers are ones that I am really wanting to finally hear....very curious!

Thanks Glen. I am enjoying the heck out it. Just added a PS Audio P1000 power regenerator, Cardas Golden Reference RCA cables and am awaiting the arrival of my new Cary SLP98P F1 preamp.

Wild wild wild. Awsome system, when find yourself rediscovering your music over again, you know you have got the right system. Happy listening and viewing. Glen

Forgot to mention that the speakers are 9 inches in front of the screen.

I throw a nice heavy blanket over the screen which does make a difference.

I also enjoy the Duo/Audipax experience in my room. Just wondering if you have compared the sound without the screen in the middle- since that's got to affect the center stage, yes?
