I am happy with the system. I play only vinyl, hence no digital. The system reflects my preferences for resolution without being etched or too forward.
After adding the GR Research subs, I am so happy with the sound. I feel like the sound is what I want.
@joel_hifi Thank you! I appreciate the nice words. The Wilson Benesch Full Circle goes back many years! I have owned many different TT over the years including different models from VPI and Clearaudio. The WB does a very good job of balancing price and performance. I’ve always wanted to try their speakers in my systems, but alas Maggie’s are where I seem to have settled and I am more than okay with that.
@laserjock1963 I built the Aikido based on its great reviews and never expected the finished product to sound so good. I can only take credit for the design of the cabinet. I local carpenter built the three sided maple frame and a local laser engraver did the laser engraving. I like how it turned out, too.
I would happily share a listen after this pandemic is over.
@archguy The half curtains are for our sanity! The dogs feel the need to bark at every dog passing by and in this ‘hood, it amounts to every few minutes!
Thanks, @archguy! I believe that Magnepan makes the DWM with beige cloth, I just bought the black version from a local guy to give it a try and I like what it does for the system.
