Following a temporary relocation and dismantling of my previous system, I have re-assembled a new system by upgrading critical components.
Only the turntable and DNA 500 Amplifier remain from my old system. The Vandersteen 5A's were previously in storage for a long time but now are installed and paired with the Modwright Tube Line Stage with external power supply, new balanced filters, acoustic zen double barrel shotgun and silver matrix balanced interconnects.
System edited: I am very pleased with this all Modwright system. Very holographic and the level of detail is unbelievable. Unbelievable speed, dynamics, airy highs and inner detail. Musical notes are full bodied. Absolutely Zero edge and notes decay with unbelievable "hang time". Just added the Modwright KWA 150 amplifier recently to complete the system and this system just sounds right. The KWA 150 just replaced the McCormack DNA 500 which is an excellent amplifier in its own right. The new Tel Wire power cords for amplifier and preamp powers the system. Very very musical! In a week I will add some bass traps and echo busters to further refine the listening environment. Looking forward to see what impact that will have on the overall sound. However at the moment, This system is just right.
System edited: Updated the system and Renamed after the 2 Channel gear is sperated from the home theater gear. Updated components. Enjoying the music. Will kick it up another notch WAYYYYY UP when Vandersteen 5A's are finally setup.
System edited: Modwright Tube Linestage with ByBee Filter and Tung Sol Tube upgrades. HT bypass and remote. This represents a serious emphasis in 2 channel audio integration into the existing system. Super sound improvement in resolution and definition. Low end definition, taut bass lines, airy highs, awesome midrange clarity. Great sonic improvement. Steady and slow progress to audio nirvana. The journey continues. Enjoying the music.
Thanks Giangtrant. It is still a work in progress to keep everything neat but with tweaking and moving speakers around, those cables are tough to hide.
The built in rack for the AV gear rotates on its own axis to expose the spaghetti mess of cables on the back when needed. Wires are routed from a port in the rear of the closet and out through the walls and ceilings.
The analog front end was not part of the original idea thats why its all hanging out. And that is just fine.
You must have gotten at least 30 different units connected together on your system, and how you can manage to keep everything so neatly in a small room that you've got without showing any loose cable is a miracle. Great Job.
