I didn't realize what the rest of the components in this system could do until switching to the Calypso.
Aesthetix Rhea Eclipse
What a fantastic piece that was selected to match the Calypso...just makes vinyl so textured and interesting.
2016 - Very musical and a great color palette
Aesthetix Atlas Eclipse
2017 - Recently upgraded. Very detailed and musical
Walker Audio Procession Phono Amp
So different from the Rhea Eclipse. I can't believe I own both and each is so good, but different than the other. Infinite loading is a revelation. The jury is still out on which I prefer. Maybe I'll keep both?
Dynavector DRT-XV1s
Still my standard
Micro Seiki RXV-1500
Modified with brass footers and Starsound record weight...better than the vacuum hold down
Microseiki 505 Mk I
So far a real find. Soon to have a second one for a Benz H2 cartridge
Auralic Aries
Controlled with Roon and leashed to DAC via Audioquest Diamond USB. Sounds best when wired and using Audioquest Vodka to do that.
PS Audio DirectStream DAC
Their latest software has always been suprior, so generally the latest is installed
Musical Fidelity A5
Today this acts as transport only into my DAC - Does anyone listen to CD anymore?
Sennheiser HD650
Headphones w/Stephan Equinox Cable
Singlepower PPX3
Headphone amp
Quadrant Systems Speaker and Interconnects
Small manufacturer whos wires have blown away the competition at the price point...very pleased!
Synergistic Research Outlets
Dedicated 20A lines to each amp, then a run for analoge and another for digital
Shunyata Research Denali 2000T
For Atlas Amp and Rel Subs (run from a PS Audio Power Strip)
Shunyata Research Denali 6000T
Behind the wall of my components
Small Green Computer SonicTransport i5
I'll use this post to also list the rest of my random digital chain - Regen, Jitterbugs and maybe a power supply soon. Tidal streaming and Netgear NAS for music.
Yeah the ps3 is a great bluray player i just wish there were more games.
I only use Shunyata power cleaners now because they are completely passive i.e. they don't clean the power supply electronically. In my experience the power cleaners that regenerate the power or clean it electronically degrade the sound. Typically what you get from those cleaners is a quieter background but the trade off is a decrease in dynamics. With the Shunyata's I get a quieter background with greater dynamics especially from my amps.
Did you just upgrade your arm recently? I can't remember if the graham is what you had on there originally. Did you ever buy the power supply for the turntable?
I just got rid of my Shunyata Hydra 8 and got the new Shunyata Hydra V-Ray power cleaner. What a difference (and I thought the Hydra 8 was the best power cleaner I had ever heard).
