Thank you @jazzman7 . I recently relocated it to that corner and I think it looks much better. Happy listening!

Thanks for the comment @sfgak

Posting new photos of my system after adding the Audionet Amp, moving the rack to a new location and adding some room treatment.

The Hegel was very good, but adding the LTA preamp made me realize I wasn't using 2/3 of the Hegel functionality (volume control and DAC) so I decided to go with the Audionet to "simplify". I would say that the Audionet has somewhat bigger soundstage than the Hegel and is more transparent to what is upstream. After adding it, I fell like I can hear more of the tube character of the preamp. I also added LPSs to my router and server and all of the changes are sounding excellent together.

Thanks @spoonman16510. The rack is an Atacama Evoque Design Edition. I got it through CanadianHiFi/USAHiFi. You can make almost any configuration of # of shelves, heights and widths you need.

I recently replaced my Hegel H390 with an Audionet Amp and needed slightly more space so I just ordered new legs for not much money. I am very happy they support that and I didn't have to buy an entirely new rack.

Thank you for the comments. We really like the window and it is definitely the focal point of the room. The downside is that it makes it challenging to do any acoustic treatment to the front wall. Not sure how essential that is for improving sound, but I see many systems here have at least something to diffuse sound between the speakers.

Merry Xmas to you jond and thanks for the comment. Your Audionote and DejaVu system looks great too and was clearly put together with care.

Hi Sandrock. Thanks for the comment. I recently moved into this house so I am still experimenting with positioning; however, the room is fairly long and I previously had them closer together. Your comment reminds me of the need to reposition and retest this as the system changes. It is easy for me to get stuck making assumptions that I have optimized something basic like speaker positioning.

Please, no negative comments on my seasonal front wall diffuser with optional colored LEDs ;-)
