This is my primary 2-channel system. The emphasis is on synergy and musicality. I feel I have achieved a very high level of both with this system. It excels at all genres of music from blues and classical to industrial and metal. Everything I have played on it comes across with a full range of emotion, depth, nuance, and power.
I
have also integrated my 4.2.4 Dolby Atmos Home Theater into the same room as my
2-channel system. Front Left, Front Right, and LFE duties are handled by the
Boulder 866 / Magico A5 / Rythmik subs. The Boulder 866 is set to Theater Mode
and fed by the Anthem AVM 60 for the Front Left & Front Right Channels. The
Rear Surrounds & Dolby Atmos Front & Rear Height Channels are handled
by the Buckeye Amps 6 Channel Amplifier. The home theater equipment is housed
in an actively vented closet with the components being controlled via a
Unfolded Circle Remote Two.
Dimensions: 17’ × 17’ Medium
Ceiling: 10’
I feel the VPI Aries 3 is my endpoint turntable. It has been outfitted with the Classic Platter, Periphery Ring Clamp, Center Weight, and TerraCone feet. Its performance is as breath-taking as its looks!
This tonearm is super easy to setup and dial in. The on-the-fly VTA adjustments come in very handy and it mates superbly with my Lyra Kleos cartridge.
Simply amazing MC cartridge. Musical, engaging, inspiring, just so lovely.
The Pitch Music Server is my own DIY computer system which acts as my Roon Core. It is based off an i9-9900K Intel Processor with 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I have installed a JCAT Net Card Femto powered by an iFi Power X 5V/3A PSU. I use it access my entire CD collection (ripped losslessly to .WAV) over my home's wired network as well as stream various titles via Qobuz. My ripped collection is stored on an internal 4TB NVMe SSD.
My system is wired throughout with my own DIY "brand" of cables:
A pair of Pitch Onyx XLR connects the VPI
Aries 3 to the Boulder 508.
A pair of Pitch Onyx XLR connects the Boulder 508 the Boulder 866.
A pair of Pitch Onyx XLR connects the Anthem AVM 60 to the Boulder 866.
A Pitch Onyx Ethernet connects the Boulder 866 to my home network & Roon.
This is my own DIY "brand" of speakers cables. I use 11 gauge high purity copper/silver-plated copper cable terminated with gold plated copper spades.
I use a set of Pitch Obsidian speaker cables terminated with spades between the Boulder 866 and the Magico A5.
Another set of Pitch Obsidian speaker cables terminated with spades connects the Boulder 866 and the Rythmik F12SE subs.
This is my own DIY "brand" of power cords. I use 13 gauge high purity copper/silver-plated copper cable terminated with IeGO 8085 connectors.
