Description

As I age, I value simplicity more.  These days there are many fabulous integrateds out there, some with very good streamer DACs built-in.

    • Wilson Audio Tunetot
    My first Wilson Audio speaker.  To be honest, I wasn't very impressed in the beginning.  They were up against Totem Tribe Towers, which were great sounding speakers in a fantastic little package.  The Tunetots actually sounded quite similar: neutral, but not harsh or sterile, with a little more upfront presentation, larger scale (perhaps because they are considerably taller on 26" stands than the TTTs), a little sharper, a little more density.  In fact, I think the TTTs imaged a bit better.  I was having a hard time justifying the nearly 2x price tag of the Wilson's... until I added a subwoofer.

    The REL T-Zero Mk III didn't just fill in the bottom end, it really opened up the midrange and let the Tunetots bloom!  Now I can't imagine a better sounding speaker for this application.
    • Boulder 866
    Streamer, DAC, integrated amp.  The centerpiece of the system in one great looking box.  Beautiful sound!
    • Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 1200
    • Von Gaylord Audio Return of the Legend 7000s Cables
    Speaker cables, power cords.
    • TP-Link N300 Wireless Bridge
    Wifi to ethernet.  I ran my old Allo USBridge streamer on wifi for a long time and decided to try this to use wired ethernet.  So much better!

    This is a great little device that is micro-USB powered so I'm also able to use my LPS spare to power it to extract a little extra performance out of it.
    • Supra Cables CAT-8
    • Allo Shanti
    Linear power supply I used with my USBridge streamer and now powers the TP-Link wireless bridge.
