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

    • 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)

You should also listen to the McIntosh MA6900, easy to use solid-state, 200 wpc, and a sound that comes close to tube.

I've recently listened to the Tri-Vista integrated and was very impressed. Plenty of power to drive your speakers, but a nice tube sound as well.
