Hi Ken,

Your JBL 4350's are classic, the synergy must be something else. I have noticed a pair for sale on CAM, (Canuck Audio Mart). How long have you had them? I think the year first year manufactured was 1979. Also results of direct outlet connection was unrevealing with the exception of reconnecting to P10, a greater silence between tracks and overall detail in music was pronounced when reconnecting to P10, (Music Mercury Living Presence Vol. 2 CD 5 Dvorak Symphony No.# 7 in D Minor and Tidal Streaming 24bit 96khz Jazz At The Pawnshop 30th Anniversary Tracks 1-4 Limehouse Blues)

Hi Ken, johnvin01,

Much appreciated. Unfortunately, no JBL behind the Moon. The table was a rebuild that I did with a friend that is now starting out in our hobby. Table is 3/4 inch Black Walnut, plinth and sides. He did the measuring and cuts and I did the finishing, took about 3 weeks on and off. Will post some photos of the rebuild. Going to try the direct Amplifier connection to outlets today after listening for a couple of hours and listen for any noticeable differences.

Yes, definetly a marvelous Hobby, I  could not agree more. Great reviews on your Benchmark HGC DAC2, beautiful piece and utilization of it's capabilities. Currently, using a vintage piece as a Preamp, (1985) restored and upgraded Superphon CDMAXX, Active and Passive capable, the predecessor to the Superphon Revelation II designed by Stan Warren of PS Audio, (Shunt Regulation, FET, Dual Mono Volume for channels, separate E-type Transformer for power supply, no tone controls, or bass or treble controls). Enjoyed the restore process and musicality it renders. A simple design.

Thanks Ken, will see what results in trying. The Active crossover setup you have must be very revealing with music, filtering at line levels and truly isolating your Hi's and Low's. Currently, I have 3 Amps using Passive Bi-Amping for 2 Pairs of speakers and standard bridge connection with another set of speakers and separate Amplifier. (Rotel RB-1590, RB-1572 and Acurus A-250)

Hi Ken, am wondering what configuration/power connection you have for setup with your Primluna's and your P10? Are you using Zone E and Zone D?. Reason being is right now all my Amps are connected to P10 as well as sources and am hearing advice from our local HiFi shop technician to connect amplifiers directly to the wall outlets, (Have PS Audio Powerports). The opinion here is that there will be a significant improvement in specifically 'soundstage and imaging'. I am trying to understand the logic as do not have 20amp wiring or 20amp circuit unfortunately.

This is Fabulous. Your treatments are detailed and clearly lots of thought went into your listening room, must be a musical nirvana.
