"I purchased a pair of the Evo 400 Power Amps and the Evo 400 Preamp last week."

You're gonna have a rockin system, assuming their hooked up to some equally competent speakers. 

It's obvious you're/were serious about playing records(Coincident) so, a report once everything is  online will be welcome.

I was sold on PL 10 years ago. 
HP/VPI with Nordost.

The  PL gear is at a level one can say...okay, let's just listen to music.
"I know what you mean about the looks, especially the rounded cage."

If anything, PL should have reshaped the transformer cover, to compliment the tube cage. I don’t know what that would look like, but it"s the same cover used since the line it was introduced.

If you ever try the KT 150’s, the cage won’t fit anyway.
Your digital transfer rig is top notch. I bet that’s digital playback that sounds organic like a record.

Your stats are gonna sing. I like the Mapleshade rack. I have slabs under the table and sub. I don’t know if they really do what Mapleshade claims, but it works aesthetically.

Looks like Christmas at your house

Edit-

My room is similar- wood floor windows on the sidewall. My setup sounds "too hot" without room treatment. Strategic damping really tamed the brightness.

enlighten me...what brand speakers? sub?

Impressive looking whatever they are.
Geez, I looked at the original thread date. Time marches on.....

Are you a lucky new owner of EVO setup? Great loooking Akita. Massive! Grew up with Akitas in the early 70's. Only breed I would bother to have if I were a dog owner today.

It's interesting to hear what other PL owners are reporting. As a long time user, I've heard the PL line in many different setups. What I hear is equipment that's  able to support substantial source investments. I "get" anyone into the balanced cable thing from the gear enthusiast perspective. For my ears, other areas are my concern.  PL sounds pretty convincing with either generic cable or Odin 2 unbalanced RCA's.
