I am mostly McIntosh with a VPI turntable. My power conditioner is Shunyata.
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.

My unprovable theory is that if you find a house sound that is perfect for you. All the same components should outperform mix and match. I cannot prove it. But to me, each component must be subtractive in some way. Say your first component is lean, and the second really warm, and third lean, and amp is warm... aren't you loosing nuance at each component when they are of different character. I will not defend this. It is just a thought experiment. I have heard lots of systems that have, say two analytical components and a very warm natural one and the balance sounds great. You would have to compare those with all one... and probably different brands of all one to get the same sound... so it would really be difficult to prove. I just remember dropping in the last piece of Audio Research equipment into my system and being absolutely stunned at the improvement... way beyond my expectation. |
Should be noted that @calvinj is the US Distributor for Infigo. He should disclose this in his post and every post he makes. |
