Thanks and it's a joy sitting in front of them on a daily basis!

Beautiful system, happy listening.

Very nice looking system!

What a system. Love the speakers. I bet it sounds great.

I just noticed your system and I'm impressed all to heck with the design and appearance of it and the Acoustic Zen Crescendo Speaker.

I located the Acoustic Zen website, appears they are $16K retail and based on the rave review at PFO and the factory (internet) images sans grill, these appear to be a true high end bargain.

I can only imagine what they sound like, congratulations on your hard work.

Give me a shout, my friend. :)

I see you use the Synergistic fuses. I'm about to purchase fuses for my dac and amp and after a lot of reading and conversations I think I'm going with the SR. May I ask if you've tried other fuses and if so, how do the SRs compare? If not, how much of an impRovement are the SRs over the stock fuses? Are your fuses in the signal path or AC (I assume AC). Also, people have said they are directIonal. Yes they work both ways but one way seems to sound better than the other.

Wig great speaker I hope you have many years of enjoyment.

Guys,

Thanks for your kind words! It's a passion for the love of music...

Wig,
It is obvious you have spent a lot of time tuning your system with different tweaks. I have many of the same ones, but am curious about a couple -
I was wondering about the MW PS 9.9 and the Audio Magic Blue Dot. Could you comment on how each impacted your system and which tweaks were best relative to cost.
many thanks,
dave

Wonderful synergy between your equipment and the room. Looks as though you have a great listening experience with both music and movies.

mjcmt November 19, 2013 00:47

Thanks guys! They're sounding better each passing day :)

wig August 23, 2013 21:19

Whats "modest" about this fine rig ???

schubert August 13, 2013 14:02

Congratulations,
I heard these Crescendo speakers extensively at CES earlier this year and felt they were among the very best regardless of price. They were excellent sounding driven by the Triode Corp 845 PSET amplifier.

G917,

Thanks! You definitely aided in my decision and I'm completely satisfied...

wig August 12, 2013 20:36

WoW.... Looks awesome.... The speakers are just drop dead gorgeous.....

g917 August 10, 2013 20:57

System edited: Great sounding loudspeaker that's coherent from top to bottom and just draws you into the performance; they're so musical...

I've had Keith's phono stage for a number of years and just added his new VTSP-3A (R02) last month. As good (great) as the VTPH-2 is, the preamp is a knockout. Absolutely worth a listen!

dodgealum March 07, 2013 21:03

Thanks ...........The amps look pretty lightweight but I
haven't heard them. I am leaning towards Pass (XA-
60/100's)as I had their 30wpc Integrated and really liked it
but felt it was a bit down in power for my Focal Be
monitors.
I am also looking at a pair of cj mono-blocs LP140M's.

The VAC Amp looks substantial and much more impressive than
my Cary SLI-80 did.

I have the Herron Phono Stage and like it very much. His amp
and pre-amp intrigue me because of how good his phono stage
performs.

czbbcl March 07, 2013 12:48

Herron equipment is absolutely fantastic but I want a Tube amp with no compromises and the Vac 160i fits that bill perfectly. They sound similiar but Vac has more body and flesh...

wig March 07, 2013 05:33

Why did you change out the Herron amps and go to the VAC Integrated? Which do you like better?

Thanks Chuck

czbbcl March 04, 2013 14:19

That is most definately a beautiful setup that you have there... Right down to the curtains blending with the speakers... Very classy looking... I'm very envious of you... A++

leorousseau January 22, 2013 12:31

Nice system
Regarding the Speaker Outrigger stands?
How are they mounted? I hate to drill any holes.
And where did you get them?

Thanks Alan2

alan2 November 10, 2012 15:23

System edited: Clarity Cables and HiDiamond interconnects are run in series using AudioQuest female to female connectors and Clarity/Hidiamond speaker Cables are doubled up as well and sounds fantastic...

wig June 18, 2012 19:13

They are wonderful amps but I no longer have them.
