JSQT's System

I hope for my wallet's sake my system has reached its "final" form for a long time after the addition of a second Luxman MQ-88uSE this weekend. I've bridged both Luxmans into mono configuration, and it is clear there is an imbalance of "burn in" at this point between the two. I have about 300 hours on the first unit, and the second is brand new. Tubes and caps need to settle in, as well as the new Transparent power cable. I should have a good idea of how things truly SHOULD sound in a couple of weeks or so.

In the meantime, I've updated a new gallery with the FINAL version of the system and bringing 2019 to a close!

Thanks guys, it is sounding great this morning.

Funny thing is for the past 36 hours I've been listening to a lot of jazz, piano, and singer/songwriter stuff. But this morning I queued up a ton of Zeppelin, Robert Plant's solo stuff, INXS' Kick, etc and it's clear how much the extra power contributes to the heft of the sound. Massive kick drum & stacked background vocals have a wall of presence. Snare drums have tactile impact. Electric guitar is more muscular.

Everything is bigger, and as we all know, bigger is better.
 
Ha!

Said another way, there’s no replacement for displacement!
