Description

Coming from a really bad experience trying to blend this system plus a vpi scout that i sold(to my regret) with multichannel: xa777-es, Outlaw processor,more wires, Marantz monos, more Dynaudios , a TV , a DVD player and my wife`s bad mood. Luckily I came back to my senses, sold all that stuff and i want to even simplify more, meaning selling my amp and pre to get a tube integrated(VSI 55 for example). I am happy with my system the way it is, but if i see one less component and keep the same sound i will be even happier.

Any suggestion will be appreciated, especially regarding tube integrateds for this system. Ok, i want to go back to vinyl also. Thanks for looking. UPDATE:Pathos instead of Audio Research: big improvement

Components Toggle details

    • Sony SC-D1
    i won`t modify it, i think it`s good enough the way it came
    • Pathos Acoustics New Classic One
    Tube Integrated
    • Dynaudio Special 25
    Amazing image, glorius midrange, revealing highs that don`t make you tired, no resonance, solid
    • Nordost Blue Heaven II
    Very transparent, very good macht with the Special 25
    • Kimber Hero
    I had audioquest, found them too heavy (Muddy?), the hero it`s not lightweigh but has more detail
    • PS Audio Xtream Plus
    Power Cord to the Pathos.
    • JPS Digital AC
    Power Cable for the SCD-1, made as much difference as the speaker cable, smoother (now the extreme highs and lows sound flatter)

If you do not mind solid state amps, i have two different suggestions: YBA Passion integrated 100wpc 8ohm or 140wpc into 4 fast, liquid and detailed, or Mark Levinson 383, with somewhat "beefier" sound character but with less microdynamics as YBA. If Dynaudios you have sound anything like my Countour 3.0 my choice would be YBA. Cheers!
