Main system for CD playback though I'll occasionally stream for background music. Speakers are vertically bi-amped (I guess that makes the Pass’s ‘stereoblocks’), fully balanced end to end.
My background: professional musician for +55yrs. Engineer: speaker, audio furniture, and guitar designer/builder. Been messing around with hifi (read: spending money foolishly) for +50yrs.
I have another system in my studio that is tube-based (Primaluna integrated) with custom turntable, modded Oppo 105, and original JBL L100s in a near field setup. Very vintage feel and just plain fun to listen to!
Wow, not sure what I'd changed, it's like we shared that part of our brain. Very well thought out components, i love the mix. Yeah, call me a fool because I want to follow in your footsteps!!
