I've been on this journey for a couple of years. It has taken me many places where I initially started with Swiss gear (Goldmund / Orpheus Lab) and then got enchanted with Tubes (Hence the original name for my virtual system - Move to Tubes). I was heavily into Zanden and Wavac for some years until I found Tidal Audio. This is by far the BEST electronics on the planet, and as you can see, I have slowly moved to an almost complete Tidal Suite. Sound is shockingly transparent and is glorious to listen to... Where will I go to next? Either try analogue (that I have been resisting) or find a good Computer audio system (that I am currently researching but can't seem to find anything on par)...
Italian furniture manufacturer (www.molteni.it). Not an audiophile stand but visually beautiful with superb finish. Pictured is the all aluminium storage bin that comes with the stand. Notice that a Acoustic System resonator is placed in the bin
Acoustic System Resonator
1 Platinum, 2 Silver and 1 Copper resonator. You have to hear this to believe these little jewels. Mind boogling amazing!!
Tripoint Troy
Amazing what it does to the sound!
Tipoint Orion
Master Reference A/C Conditioner. My system has undergone a magical transformation!
Orb Audio Kamakura Power Tap
One of the best passive power conditioners. I'm using 2
Beautiful system. For me another encouragement towards changing to Argento cabling sometime. I've heard Argento many times now with Tidal gear and it seems like the "natural choice" (in the truest sense of the word "natural") for a system featuring Tidals.
Your choice of the Vekian DAC over the Zanden looks fascinating. I've never had an opportunity to hear Stahl-Tek gear. Until now, to me Zanden represented the top, but your comment leaves no doubt which one is better. Can you say where Zanden has its flaw(s) compared to the Vekian? Or is it a case of overall musical superiority? Thanks.
