Very nice set up. Meticulously put together/executed and top notch gear. Enjoy it in good health :thumbsup:
 
Beautiful Carlo , lovely system, the Master Innovation is a great table and as far as the Lamm M1.2's are concerned - fantastic amps (I have a pair) & a very synergistic match with Wilson. It's clear that a lot of thought went in to this . Kudos!!

Agreed! Had the Lamm M1.2's paired with Sashas before as well...a lot of reviewers have raved about the Lamm Wilson synergy. Thanks!

By the way, synergy not only between Lamm and Wilson but also ARC preamps and Lamm amps. ARC pres tend to be a bit brighter and more transparent vs. Lamm pres. I find Lamm pre + Lamm amp sometimes a bit too dark, so I think you have a very well thought-out synergistic chain throughout.

Nicely done!

I totally agree with you Cyril. Synergy IMO is the key in this hobby of ours. So much potential is wasted on poorly matching of otherwise very excellent products.

Big +1.

Power to the gear swappers in this department too! If you're not a gear swapper and unwilling to do this, find a great dealer (like David at Design Audio In Texas or Mark Jones in Toronto) and leverage their expertise.

Carlo, exceptional set-up sonically and easy on the eyes. Question - did you upgrade to Master Innovation? If so did you notice any differences between Innovation (what I own) and the two tier Master Innovation? Darrin

Thanks Darrin. I went straight to Master Innovation from a Vpi table about 6 months ago.
 
Carlo - gorgeous! Looks like some SOTA dealer showrooms. Beautiful.

Kumusta Carlo?

Welcome to the forum and allow me to joy the chorus of praise for your thoughtfully constructed audio system.

What can you tell us about the Eera Tentation cdp? The player is practically unheard of but in some quarters holds the reputation of being the most analog sounding CD player in the world. A colleague of mine called the Tentation the Lamm of CD players.

Cheers

Thanks Ralph.

I was skeptical at first upon seeing the very simple black enclosure of the Eera Tentation, (how can something so simple and ordinary looking sound good?)
But, boy was I impressed with the way it played my redbook cds.

"Most analog sounding CDP in the world"? Im not qualified to claim that but in my experience, listening to cds after listening to lps has made it more acceptable and enjoyable for me. I no longer need to make sure of listening to cds first before going to my lps.

"Lamm of CD players"? First time I've heard of that but I would tend to agree in some ways. Like Lamm, it wouldn't Wow you at first listen but rather it would draw you in its organic way of delivering music. It just sounds right...
