In Reply to: What is the remainder of the system(s)? posted by grantv on August 12, 2024 at 15:19:59:
here is my system which IMHO sounds astounding for under a grand total .... or in other words what you guys typically pay for one power cable :1) Rega Planet 1 .... first gen cd player unmodified
2) Diy pure silver interconnect cables ... thin wire in packing tape sandwich
3) Nelson Pass B1 impedance matching network with no gain stage all the best components and silver wire ....
4) external regulated power supply for B1 buffer
5) Focal Evo 50 self powered studio monitors
6) inexpensive studio monitor stands with speakers mounted quite high
NOTE : notice that I have no pre-amp gain stage ..... no speaker wires ..... no amplifier ,,,,, no interconnects from preamp to amp ..... no digital cross-overs or extra digital conversions ..... the systems hardly evem looks like anything ..... but the sound is ooo - laaa - laaaa
room is 19 foot by 13 foot ..... wood floor ..... somewhat active room .... standing waves seem well under control
