Dedicated Room No, Dedicated Wife Yes
One day soon I hope to have A dedicated room, but for now the system resides in my living room. My system started years ago before I was married. I do not think she had any idea it would get this out of control. She is the best, 17 plus years and still upgrading and she still sticks by her man. As of late the upgrading is slowing down a bit. I am enjoying the music immensely. The sound stage, solid pinpoint images in space, seperation, dynamics, inner detail, resolution. If I could wish for anything it would be a large dedicated room to help get me the sound stage depth you get in a larger space. any ideas to get better sound stage depth in my current room are welcome. I am currently in the middle of an upgrade. The Opus MM interconnects are being upgraded @ Transparent to Opus MM2. Also traded in my Transparent reference XL speaker cable for the new reference MM2 speaker cable. Ok this is the last upgrade for awhile in the meantime I have some Kubala Sosna emotion speaker cables and a pair of Cardas golden cross balanced interconnects. These cables sound pretty good but lack the detail, resolution and sound slow in comparison to my old cables. The Mark Levinson No33 amps have been slightly modified. DO NOT DO THIS MODIFICATION UNLESS YOU ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED. These amps can store life threatening current for many days after they have been unplugged from the wall.Now that that is out of the way I left the 8feet of metal jumpers inplace but bypassed them with Transparent speaker cable. This was about three days of work including trying to come up with a game plan and making all the jumpers. The time spent was well worth it. The soundstage is fuller, bigger, deeper sound stage. The presentation is more organic and natural. |
