Do you use one brand of electronics or are you mixing brands what has worked best for you?


I am currently using all Infigo electronics and cabling. I used to use a mix of Kr audio, resonessence and clarity cables.  I had a great sound but now I have my best sound because it seems like the digital handoffs are seemless.  My noise floor is way lower and I can tell the cabling and components are made to work together. What has been your experiences with all of this.

I mix and match.

I find that designers often appeal to me at one type of component but not all.

Example -- my music system:

Koetsu cartridge

Graham arm

VPI table

Manley phono preamp

Pass preamp and monoblocks

Thiel speakers

plus

McIntosh tuner

Sony SACD player

Nakamichi cassette deck

Rane equalizer

Audioquest cables

Depends, I follow sonic choices not dogmatic mix or same brand.

For my SS main system, it’s currently the same.  I’ll eventually buy a second SS amp for variety like GanFET, sliding Class A, Class N…

For my flea watt system, it’s different as I’m investigating tube amps

@ghdprentice you have one very nice system.  I have seen it before and now have a chance to say how really awesome it is.  

I've had a different experience than you in my audiophile journey.  I have pretty much always mixed and matched my audio components, as well as my cabling with superb results.  Happy listening.
