    I got this on a trade deal with my Spendor D9.2's I was going to move it along to another person. and put the money back into speakers. but after a listen i don't think i can. just a great sounding DAC. now I'm hooked on Chord. 
    • Acoustic Solid 113 bubinga
    • Sansui Tu 9900 tuner restored
    • Tri-Art Audio Open 5 Open, open baffle speaker system
    3 Way, 5 driver open baffle speaker system, featuring bamboo baffle, 18" sub bass, 15" mid bass, 8" full range midrange ( not run full range), soft dome tweeter and supper tweeter. external crossovers. 

    This is one speaker that's not very well know, but i moved from the Spendor D9.2's to these and at half the cost they smoked the Spendor's in all regards.

    NVA out of the UK that are specifically made with very low capacitance (NVA amp's need that or they oscillate). I use them from time to time because they are some of the nicest copper interconnects I've tried.  ok I've not tried many but they were cheep I and I already own them ;-)

What a beautiful room and system. Your plinth is spectacular. I have a Purpleheart clad with MDF interior under my Garrard 401. It's all I want or need.

Very nicely done! Regards,
Dan
