This system is the result of many prior systems over a period of 40 plus years. Realism has finally been achieved. Two products are chiefly responsible. One is the High Fidelity cables and the other is the Tripoint Troy Signature and their Thor SE grounding cables.
I doubt if I will add anything more, but I know better than ever saying never.
Mribob, thanks for the kind comments. What would you like pictures of or in proper English, Of what would you like pictures?,
I looked at your pictures and read your system and experience. I have 25 years more experience in audio, but have been down many of the same paths as you. Until we bought the present house we live in my rooms have been awful. The last had a fire place right behind my listening position and a kitchen right beside that. The previous one was either in our master bedroom or later in the basement, but fortunately that location was only for two years.
I have been quite surprised that the BMC Arcadias and M2 amps haven't taken off. I suspect it is the China Syndrome, that build quality and parts are poor but those are both incorrect.
Incidentally, I didn't think that the Arcadias really were well done at the Newport show.
Linkster, Perhaps in current injection mode is better but the DAC 1, pre is not all that good, IMHO. The balanced input is good also, but with the HFCs I get clearly the best sound both with the Koda and with the Exemplar XP-2.
Charles1dad, yes, I didn't like the Dac1 Pre but also it is really set up to use their transport plus one other input. Plus the Exemplar XP=2 was far superior. The Koda is the only preamp that I've found better than theXP-2. Yes, I'm very happy with my music reproduction. Thanks for the comments.
