Hi Khrys, .. just tripped into your Virtual System. Very, very nice rig. Let me add my compliments to the others -- I love the rig, the aesthetic and the piano. I have two questions about your rig and set up experience. Your advice would be much appreciated.
The first Q pertains to your experience with Kimber cables. It seems like you are drinking the Kimber Kool_Aid. There's currently a Forum thread running now in which members are posting comments about the interaction of speaker cable capacitance and amps. As a result of blind reliance on a dealer several years ago, I bought Kimber speaker cables (8PRs) and I/Cs (Heros) for my rig. Take a look at my system description to get a better sense of what I have. Through dumb ignorance, it seems like the cabling works fine, so I'm not complaining. But I have no basis for comparison. Do you have any advice or thoughts about the suitability of the Kimbers in my set up?
The second question pertains to your ARC DAC 8. I've been holding off in going down DAC lane. Can you please share your thoughts and reactions about the DAC 8?? As you probably discerned, I'm somewhat partial to ARC gear. Specifically, are you getting a lot if use out of the DAC? Does it work well with the rest of your system? What are your digital sources?
Again ... my sincere compliments on your set-up and music room.
Happy New Year!!
Bruce
