Description

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)...

Mveloo,

Very nice set-up! Modding the CD/DVD player with some better caps, diodes, chasis dampening, and other tweaks will yield some very nice sonic results. I just finished modding my EAD CD-1000 with Rubycon caps, Fairchild "stealth" soft recovery diodes, silver wiring, chasis dampening, and power supply tweak. Also, speaker crossover upgrades will take your speakers to the next level.
