    • Krell evo 400's
    Loving the improvement over the 400cx
    • Martin Logan CLX
    Incredible full range electrostat
    • Resolution Audio Cantata 3.0
    I was looking for something that was similar to my Wadia no real surprise the Cantata fit the bill.
    • Synergistic Research Fire Wire and Galileo USB
    I am using a SR cabeling between the LaCie 6 TB hard drive and the active USB cable from the Mini to the Cantata
    • Synergistic Research Powercell MK III
    Everything is plugged into the Powercell. Non Current limiting
    • Synergistic Research Tranquility Bases
    Using them under the mac Mini and Hard Drive as well as the Cantata.
    • Synergistic Research Transporter Ultra SE
    The transporter replaced all of the MPC's cleaned up the wiring and a nice improvement in the sound.
    • Synergistic Research MIG's
    Using these under the Tranquility bases and the Hard drive. Amazing little devices.
    • Synergistic Research Element Copper Silver 20 amp
    These are used on the Krell 400's
    • Synergistic Research Element Copper 15 amp
    These power the CLX's

    After listening to a couple different ML subs, I felt these were the best match, they do have the CLX modules installed

    Completely silent. Extremely fast. Rock Solid. The on-board 4TB SSD makes album look ups substantially quicker than network attached drives. No more worries with network issues or wondering if ROON is still running as an App on the network. The perfect way to run ROON.

Ken,
Congratulations on your excellent system!

Like you, I also have managed to wait till the age of 50 to finally get the "good stuff."

Well, maybe, when we were 20, we didn't have the patience (or taste) to enjoy it.

Best regards.

Are you pleased with results of SR Des. Ref. on the Wadia? Have you tried any other power cables. Have you tried the SR Master Coupler the cd? Any differences? Looks like a very nice system!

Ken Your system is incredible, very simple but works,
well thought system, After we spoke today, about the
FPB 300, It amaze me that I will meet world class
person like you here at AG, you are great assets of
AG.But your system is just unbelievable, the prodigy
with this gear will fill your soul with harmony.I
salute you.

Very nicely done! The simpler the better. I run my Accuphase DP75 directly into a Pass X350. The only time I use a preamp is for for phono playback.

I imagine that it would be both difficult and impractical to improve upon your setup. I've still got a way to go wrt room treatments. Have you experimented with anything like the Tube Traps?

System edited: Two changes I would like to make. 1. Get rid of the TV 2. Wish I could have afforded this system when I was 20 instead of 50

Simple is great. Nice setup. How do you like the Wadia with the Krell amp? I am searching for a new cdp for my setup, interested to hear you opinion.

Way to go! Simple is good. Your choices of amp,speaker and cd are great. My take on simple is ML37/cheap DAC direct to Art Audio SymphonyII 300B mono amps/with volume controls hooked up to Lamhorn single driver/no crossover Lowther type speakers. There are four power cords and 5 wires in my system- you have one less wire(digital cord)-I must have done something wrong?

Hi,

Very nice system. I’m also running an 861 direct to the amp but use 1 dedicated line also with a FIM outlet. My 861 has been upgraded by Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound to his statement level. Although the upgrade costs around $3,300, I think you will be amazed at how much better the Wadia can get. Happy listenig.
Jim
