Extremely beautiful sounding and looking speakers.
Rega Apollo-r
Nice natural warmth with very analog sound. If I want more "air" in the sound, I use this as a transport into my Mcintosh integrated amp/dac using an Audioquest Vodka toslink cable (which also adds some brightness).
Kimber 12tc
Amazing, transparent with great depth and large sound stage.
Audioquest Coffee USB cable
Air, quickness, and dimension. I have owned 4 different "audiophile" usb cables, and this is the best for my system.
Kimber Hero
Extended frequency with open soundstage.
Audioquest Vodka Toslink
Clear with quick attack
Kimber PowerKord 10 Ascent
Into the amplifier.
Kimber Powerkord 10 Base
Connected to CD/Transport.
Monster Power Surge/Conditioner EP2450
Power conditioner and surge protector, with IR control.
I also want to say that the Nova is an amazing unit, I only use it for the DAC/pre and it's still worth it to me. As for cables, I think anti-cables are a safe choice, Morrow Audio is another great one to look into.
