Lapierre,
My system sounds ever so smooth and enjoyable.
But, when called upon, the Music jumps at you with wide dynamics. Bass and treble are extended with a tightness that sounds like real instruments. This is with playing regular recordings ,not Audiophile recordings. Its amazing how good regular recordings can sound.
However, the best recordings do sound even better.

I really cant see myself getting any more equipment, at least for now. I may get some sundry items like a better stand, Amp stand ,etc.

I wrote a review about the new PowerCell. It is located in the Review section under Accessories.
Please read it, I spent alot of time on it.

The best power cord, can only be descibed as the best one for the equipment.
That is, Digital -Hologram D
Amp -Hologram A
Preamp -T2
PowerCell -Precision Ref

The one that suprised me the most was the Precision Ref on the PowerCell.

Ozz how's your system sound now with the PowerCell 10 SE?

And what SR Power Cord impacted your system the most?

System edited: Just added the new Synergistic PowerCell 10 SE with the Precision Reference power cord. I also placed a Teslaplex outlet in the one wall outlet and another in my homemade extension quad box.

The XP-10 has a remarkable soundstage. Deep and wide.
Very pleased.

ozzy December 24, 2008 20:24

Nice system, Ozzy. How do you like the new XP-10? What did it replace? I have a Pass-based system and am thinking of replacing my X-1 preamp with either the XP-10 or XP-20 to mate with my new XA100.5 amps. Thanks. Peter

Dev, thanks for the Cat Amp advise. I will lool into it.

Hi Ozzy it appears that you are having fun. Here's a thought for you, replace the Pass amp with the "CAT" Stereo Sig. amp. I had this hooked-up to my Andra's just unbelievable, the mid-range, highs and three "D" imaging was breathless. The bass was even better than my Pass X600.5's go figure, just so much more realistic. If I had the Andra's currently the "CAT" amp would be a no brainer and would be mated up with them for sure. I was shocked with the experience, the "CAT" was the best amp by far that I had hooked-up with them and had no issues driving them nor running out of juice. The "CAT" amp actually produced even less heat over all than both of my Pass amps combined.

System edited: Changed from the APL Modified Denon Player to the Cary 306 SACD. Added a Preamp to the system the H-Cat.

ozzy April 13, 2008 15:37

Sherod, Sorry I have not replied earlier. Yes, I am running my APL directly to my Amp. I have not found any benefit in putting a Preamp in the chain.

ozzy October 24, 2007 22:30

Ozzy, are you still running your Cd player directly to your amps? Just curious if you've decided on using a preamp yet as you were experimenting with some.

sherod October 21, 2007 01:08

You have really craved out a piece of man heaven. Great sytem.

glenfihi October 02, 2007 01:23

Ozzy, yes I am enjoying the 600.5's. Regarding the pics, they were just showing the Andra's on the Sistrum's (SP1's not SP101's) I had already deleated them but I will re-shoot and send to you.

I would recomend you speak to Robert of Sistrum but I would say your amp but he might recommend other than this.

dev October 01, 2007 01:10

Dev,
As good as the Pass 350.5 sounds, the 600.5 should be awesome !

I found some used Audio points that were made for the EW Andra's , should get them soon.

I think you posted that you had pictures of installing the sistrums under the Andra's. If so , please send them my way.

Question: If I was going to start with one sistrum sp-101 stand for my equipment should it go under the Amp or the digital first?

ozzy September 30, 2007 16:41

Ozzy I have the PASS X-600.5's hooked-up now in my system and really enjoying them, I have to say they out perform the Mac's in every area. This is the first, other amps I have tried I would prefer them in one area over the Mac's and possibly two but not over all and I would end up keeping the Mac's until now. So now I have the bug and I want to try the XA-160.5's along with my original short list consisting of the CAT and LAMM. Once I sell my Mac's I'll get one of the three to compare.

dev September 22, 2007 22:02

Ozzy forgot to mention it was two X 350.5 amps.

dev September 03, 2007 01:33

Hi Ozzy, your system is looking great. It is going to be interesting I just bought a pair of Pass X 600.5's. I heard a pair of X 350.5's along with McIntosh 501's in the the same system at a dealers hooked-up to Swan speakers, I preferred the Pass over the Mac's. The pre used was a Hovland 200, I will say that I defiantly do prefer my current system's set-up over the one I heard but what I heard intrigued me enough to buy a pair of X 600.5's to try.

dev September 03, 2007 01:22

Thanks for the kind words. The original pictures came out pretty dark so I had to lighten them up considerable.
By doing that the resolution became pretty grainy.
Oh well, I am not a photographer.

ozzy August 14, 2007 23:03

Nice gear you have there, I bet it sounds fantastic!
From the look of your room I bet you would be great to hang out with.

chadnliz August 12, 2007 22:53

Wow. Nice pics. Great to see your new speakers - they look awesome.
