Description

Well, after buying and selling several pieces over the last few years -mostly CDP's and interconnects-, I am finally settling down for awhile. Well, at least another year or so when I begin looking for new speakers for a larger house. The Wavelength and Stereovox IC's are very new. They're working great so far and I expect to keep them for the long run. The Macbook has changed the way we listen to music. It's incredible to have your whole collection available with a little white remote. Everything works seamlessly and sounds incredible. We've purchased a lot new music recently because it's so fun to rip and listen. This is by far the best sounding system we've had.

Music tastes run the gamut: lots of classical, some rock, folk, acoustical guitar, and of course lots of kid CD's, especially bedtime/lullaby discs for a little person who joined us a few years ago. Some of these discs really sound great and are so relaxing! Anyway, I'm now an authority on children's music, particularly bedtime tunes...recommendations forthcoming.

Components Toggle details

    • Apple Mac Mini
    1 TB HD connected via FW800 to new Mac Mini
    • Wavelength Audio Crimson -- balanced version
    USB DAC with volume control running balanced. The sound is incredible!
    • Paradigm Active Reference 40's
    Each speaker contains 2 amps to (1) to power tweeter, (2) to power midrange/woofer. These speakers were my very first hi-end purchase some years ago now. They sound great and the active design (at least to me) makes sense. I may never go to conventional speakers.
    • Stereovox BAL-600
    4 meter runs from DAC to speakers. The best interconnects I have ever heard!
    • Yamamoto Sound Craft MGB-1
    4 of these footers used under W/L DAC provide excellent vibration control, reduce harshness and etchiness.
    • Fusion Audio Enchanter PC's
    PC's for active speakers
    • Fusion Audio Impulse PC
    For WA USB DAC.
    • Stillpoints Stillpoints + Mini Risers
    Got'em my laptop
    • Audience aR6-T
    The teflon cap conditioner...dead quiet backgrounds, increased sound stage and dimensionality
    • Audience AR1p
    Single outlet conditioner used with each active speaker. More to come on how they sound.

Nice rig! Simple and no doubt highly musical. Active speakers no less!
