Always loved great sound, finally started to put together a good system in mid 2012. Started with the tekton lore s, then wanted a small integrated and chose the red wine sig 15. I have a bright room and vinnie helped me select a good tube (Amperex PQ 841) and work on speaker placement which has helped balance the sound. I recently replaced my audio engine dac1 with a higher end Rega DAC. The rega has a natural, analogue sound, which works well with the red wine. I have been able to keep my system pretty small, which i appreciate. I have realized as I build this system the importance of the source, and have been unhappy with the sound of my itunes music (mostly cds burned in losless, but also downloaded itunes songs in the lossless format). I recently purchased a subscription to unlimited access to Qobuzz and the streaming sound quality, although 12/44.1 (the same as my itunes collection), is excellent. I am finally able to enjoy more of the potential of my system. I wish there was a dj/online radio service that had good sound quality, but for now, I am enjoying listening to a wide range or high quality tracks on qobuzz, going album by album, which i haven't done in some time.
