    • Mojo Audio Illuminati v3
    Powers the PF card and modem/router. Quietude.
    • Dynamic Design THB Nebula GS PC
    Can this really be for real? Elegant and full throttled no nonsense love of music. Big, natural, quiet, incredibly layered and 3D, detailed, extended and nuanced. Just beautiful on my VAC integrated.
    Hard to understand why these aren't more known and more widely used

    Huge, articulate, round, layered, and on and on. On Lampizator DAC

    Hard to understand  these aren't more known and more widely used.
    • Revelation Audio Labs Passage Reference DC cables
    Brad at RAL builds beautiful sounding cables, that's all there is to it. His umbilicals and digital cables are some of the very best aftermarket upgrades available (IMHO) - phenomenally quiet, open, palpable, detailed and nuanced.

    Ohmystarsandgarters. Limited edition SOTA design from some time ago and still phenomenal. Rich, natural and nuanced. 12ga from DAC to Pre and 8ga from Pre to Amp.

    • Avatar Acoustics Afterburner 8 Outlets
    A total of five duplexes on 3 dedicated lines: 2 for analog, 2 for digital and 1 duplex on a dedicated amplifier/power circuit. No hiding. Full, round and without limit.

    • Custom Home Made Tiger Maple Audio Cabinet
    Made by your's truly:  1.5 in. tiger maple throughout with Eden Brass footers.  All from an old maple downed, milled, planked in my front yard and barn dried for 2 1/2 years.  Cut into boards, planed, joined, biscuited, glued up, aniline dyed and waxed in two friends' shops.  I owe them a debt of gratitude because I really love the piece.
    • Battle Rock Studios Myrtlewood Plinths w/EdenSound Brass Footers
    2.25" under each piece with EdenSound brass footers.

Budburma,
Thanks for the update regarding the Myrtlewood.
That maple cabinet should be interesting to see when it's completed, how many more years of drying time do you think is needed?
Where does one purchase a new DP777SE from?

Nice looking system!
