I've put together a very satisfying system, both for music and home theater. The sound is dynamic, with excellent imaging,and soundstaging. Music sounds just great. I've moved into a dedicated room, which helps a lot. I'd appreciate any feedback.
IC's both for the main CD channels, as well as the phono inputs
Equitech Wall panel
Separate circuits for the analog and digital gear. All separated from the lighting, HVAC, etc.
Grand Prix Monaco
Don't know if they help the sound, but they sure look cool.
RPG, ASC Diffuser and absorption panels
I have a dedicated room that is 28' x 22' x 8'. It is a redone basement with brick walls on 2 sides, and drywall on the others, so it is a very live room.. There are asorption panels on the sides and front. There are ASC bass traps in the corners , and diffusers on the ceiling at the first reflection point, and diffusors in the back. It now sounds great. Eventually, I will have it analysed properly.
REL Acoustics Studio 3
Fills in the lower-level information on the Temptations beautifully. A killer in my home theater.
MBL 101e's
Dynamic with great imaging, staging, etc. I can never go back to a speaker in a box. It does need an amp with balls.
MBL 111e
Surround duty
Berkely Audio Alpha DAC
Incredible resolution and tonality. Can't wait to try High-res files.
Blue Smoke Media computer
Outstanding sound with the Berkely DAC. Also, can't beat the convenince
I think I also see a Theta Casablanca in the rack... Do you connect both the multichannel outputs from this and EMM DAC6 into the Switchman? Do you think the DAC6 is a better pre than Casablanca?
