System edited: At the moment I only stream. Sold my Forsell cd transport. Removed the Herron VTSP2 due to having only one source. Herron VTSP2 is a great preamplifier, but simplyfing a component out of the signalflow is even better!

Hi Ryder
Sorry for the very late answer. But perhaps still usefull. The ceraballs give a substantial change. Components started to sound more refined. Better definition, increased soundstage.

Do you still have the Ceraball? Would appreciate if you can comment on the benefits they brought to the system when placed below components.

Thanks.

System edited: After severall experiments the Blacknote DSS30i Tube convinced me that streaming is the future. Sold my Forsell CD transport and Chord DAC64.

Hi, may I ask if the Ceraballs managed to bring an appreciable difference to the components that are placed under them? What sort of improvements are perceived when the Ceraballs are placed beneath the components?

I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.

Thinking of purchasing Calderas like yours,do they still compete with current competition at 7 and 8 grand

Thnx for the response. I will check you tips out.

I believe the Herron VTSP-3 is hard to get in Holland. Herron is using some lead in his amps which is not allowed in Europe. It is hard to import them because of regulations.

I like the Tesla tubes a lot. I also have a set of Pope tubes but the Tesla are much better. Bigger soundstages more dynamics.

Hi Vergeerr. Very noce setup you have. Consider upgrading the Herron to VTSP-3, it makes a substantial improvement in body and impact, while keeping all the virtues of the Herron. Curious what you think about the Tesla tubes. I am using Amperex 7308's with very nice results. Cheers

A mod you can have done is installing an Audio Magic Pulse GEN ZX. It absorbs RFI/EMI inside the chassis. You can read the review(s)@Positive Feedback Online. I just got one.

System edited: After expirmenting with a Lyngdorf Room processor, I tried the Tact RCS 2.0. The lyngdorf was a bit dissapointing, because it was doing A-D D-A conversion. And not on the level of Chord dac64. The Tact is placed between the CD transport and the Dact, so it works completly in the digital domain. And does a nice job.
