    Re: Boulder arrives at Suncoast Audio

    Sheesh!!!

    Over 90% of RoomPlay Reference visitors say it's the best sound they ever heard, and all comment on the unexpectedly high level of musical engagement.

    As you would expect, I think that is primarily due to the set-up working 100% with the room, rather than against it.

    Still, the (I do try to keep him quiet) audiophile in me is now wondering about my Pass INT 60 vs. the Boulder 866....
    DPT4ME - Dynamics, Presence & Tone for Musical Engagement; MBP (3) - stripped down for music only; Shunyata Omega & Sigma USBs; ISO REGEN w/short Curious USB links; Berkeley Alpha USB; Aqua La Scala II Optologic DAC; Schiit Yggdrasil - fully updated; Ayre Codex dac - updated; Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amp; Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE-2 preamp, Quicksilver Mono 120 amps w/Tung-Sol KT150s; Quicksilver Mid Mono amps w/Gold Lion KT77s; Fyne Audio 703s; Symposium Svelte Plus & Ultra Platforms; REL S-812 subwoofers; Duelund DCA12GA speaker cables; AV Room Service EVPs, Stein Music Harmonizers, Duelund DCA16GA & 20GA ICs; Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2; Tripp Lite PCs; Wyred 4 Sound power cords; AudioDharma cable cooker; dedicated custom room; various GIK & ASC room treatments; etc.

    I know the 2000 series amps are easily converted to 240V, not sure about the 1160. My old 2060 was set up that way.

    That’s correct. 3000 series is only 240v.

    I upgraded from the 2060 to a Boulder 3060 over five years ago. Even with both the 2060 and 3060 on 240V, the 3060 is in another league.
