All new room and modified system to fit the room. Converted the garage to a dedicated music room with remote AC system, completely dedicated 10 foot ground spike and dedicated circuits. GIK treatments throughout (diffusion on the ceilings and absorption everywhere else) has made the system sing.
And thank you to the following Audiogon gurus: SKushino, Syntax and Halcro.
Jeff - what does your version of the Tibetan singing bells do exactly? Do they ring and resonate which adds some level of pleasant 'distortion?' I'm not familiar with what they are but am curious enough to ask . . . thanks.
Hi Jeff, Nice gear - I bet it sounds marvelous. If ever you get the bug to change your DAC, another member I chatted with that had the same Ayre QB-9 DAC changed it to the Metric Halo LIO-8, which is pro-gear, and said it was a significant improvement . . . just FYI.
