Re: My Getaway
Very nice, George! I don't know how I missed this thread until now.
And of course, you move to Lakeland and just 2 months later, I move out of Lakeland. LOL Still not too far away though.
I bet that system/room sounds great. Just curious, what room treatments are those you're using? I only ask because I'm finally doing room treatments. Have some GIK panels coming in at the end of the month.
Anyway, enjoy and talk soon!Pass Labs XP-20 | Auralic Altair G1 | Odyssey Audio Stratos Monoblocks | JVC XL-Z411 | Nakamichi DR-1 | Technics SL-1700MK2 | Magnepan 1.7i | SVS PB-1000 Pro x 2

Re: My Getaway
About 2 months ago I pulled the trigger and swapped out the Pre-Amp and the DAC. The Pre-Amp is the well-known Pass Labs XP-30 and the DAC is the Holo Audio May KTE R2R Ladder DAC. Also upgraded Pass Labs umbilical cords with the Tubulus Argentus. Extremely pleased with the level of enhanced performance I can hear.

Re: My Getaway
George,
Congratulations on a great system and setup. Did you do a comparison between the Pass Labs factory umbilical and the Tubulus Argentus? Sounds like the genus and species of something creepy and crawly.Contributor to stereotimes.com

Re: My Getaway
Thanks. No, from reading other positive reviews I decided it sounds smart to replace the plain old generic cables with dedicated cables. By the way, the factory cables look fugly.

Re: My Getaway
That system and room does certainly qualify as a music Getaway. A special place to relax, enjoy music, and be thankful.

Re: My Getaway
I would have instinctively thought the better orientation for that installation would be the other axis, with the speakers pointing down the longer wall.

Re: My Getaway
I had a 19.5' x 26.5' x 9' room in my last house and experienced similar results both with TAD R1 Mk2 full passives and 2 different Legacy semi-active setups. Plenty of space behind and outboard of the speakers on the long wall gave an incredible result.
