    Monsoons on amp and dac, blizzard connects the wall outlet to the Niagara 1200
    • Triode Wire Labs American Series
    speaker cables, rca interconnects and Ethernet cable. These products produce a natural sounding presentation with plenty of detail. Best I have ever used regardless of price.
    • SolidSteel Audio rack
    • TP-Link MC220L
    I substituted a fiber optical ethernet media converter box set up to replace the ethernet cable run from router to dac.  I replaced the wall wart power supply to the FMC box closest to the dac. I used an IFi power supply.  It seems like there is more detail and transparency from possibly a lower noise floor.

Thanks, Larry.  And yes, I'll certainly let Erol know of your recommendation.

Happy listening.  Great system.

I have owned the Weiss one year, It replaced a LUMIN T2 I owned 3 years. The Weiss is superior sonically in every way, tone, spatial qualities, transparency. Also very natural sounding. If you can find a place to audition one you will hear the difference immediately. 
If you call NSMT you will speak with owner, designer Erol Ricketts. Would you tell him I recommended NSMT? This is a small company that uses word of mouth advertising.

Thanks, Tuberist.  Going to give NSMT a call.

How long have you had the Weiss dac?  I've always wanted to hear one.  What was your previous dac?

If I had known how good those speakers are, I would have indebted myself for the model 100s. The 75s are  astounding.

What a nice system and room.  Love the simplicity of the system.  I'd guess that system synergy is really good.

Thanks for posting pictures of your new NSMT 75's.  Gorgeous.  How are you liking them so far?  I'm considering trying them out.

Beautiful room and nice system. I wish I had ceilings like that in my listening room. Bet it sounds great!

ML, I agree no great audio stores in Prescott but that's to be expected. Brick and mortar are on the decline for sure.  I think you're headed to the Valley to get the service you need. I only stream anymore and have the gear to pull off high resolution through Qobuz and Roon. BTW, I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to Pitt and moved to Boston after graduation. I came to Prescott from Boston 3 years ago this month. I'm lovin' the weather and non-stressed population.

Thanks for your comment on my altitude thread. I find Prescott to be a wasteland for great audio stores. Do you know anyone local WHO CAN SET UP  A NEW CONTROL 4 SYSTEM? One local shop wanted $3,200!! How about projector repair locally?? Must we all have to go to Phoenix for this??
