Description

Bacch For Mac (BACCH4Mac) ...AMAZING in 'dah house now!

All streaming nowadays using Roon/Qobuz. Listening room is good but not going to get amazing as that's the house and state of our union.  I have more of a monitor set up with speaker placement. The sweet spot is just that and wider than just the center. 

The integrated AMP is a Rogers High Fidelity KWM-88.  I had that modified for using KT-170’s. What an AMP!   

The Grimm MU1/Weiss 501 are thrilling and have great synergy with AMP & Speakers. A Telegartner M12 Gold Switch helps too. An Aes/Ebu connection is needed for best results.

Added Hijiri Power cables. Yup.that anded a bit more or I'm deluded. Both work for me.

Have two Roon end points. The one in the listing room (nee den) uses the Grimm MU1 and the other one for the whole stereo is a Lumin D2 Network Streamer w/sboobster that given the in ceiling speakers is good.

Power and ethernet very cleaned up. No tin foil on ceiling. Yet. 

It's taken years but my wife now uses the system and likes having the tunes going. Praise Jah.

    • Telegartner M12 SWITCH GOLD

    Their web site says "A complete network solution for Extreme Audiophiles." I'd say this thing is remarkable. Seriously.


    • AudioQuest Niagara 7000
    Had the furman power conditioner, IT-ref 15L but it seemed to flatten out the sound when compared to plugging AMP to wall. Yes it was an earlier excellent Garth Powell design but the Niagara keeps out of the way. The new 3000 would be what I would get now.
    Entire system (except sub) powers on/off with the 7000 and that's one of those little simple pure joy things.

    Clean neutral sound. Taken out for the Cardas. Will use in another system that will make use of XLR/dual mono

I see you're not faithful on just one brand of power cable- there are so many good choices out there- some of the ones you have are on my list :)
