When the new replacement arrive, i will let you know. Thanks...Nice 'small' room Surprisingly, some of the best sound I have heard is from 'lower end' speakers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was using Magico M3s with Halco DM38 monos, and Esoteric flagship front end. I think one of his co-axial cable between transporter to DAC is like $10K for 1m in lenght.

Curious what cables run from source components to amps and how long are the runs? Thanks @Lazz! I found, with electronic stacking behind speakers, not only been distracting, it infers the soundstage. This findings coincided to what I observed from those dedicated ultra-highend audio Setups I had the privilege listened to. Of course, is very subjective to my very personal taste/capability. Others may observed differently. Pls don’t quote me on this..... As for the interconnect, I am biased to Accuphase super-refined BROWN cable. It’s 7.5m in length and ASDL Type (Full balanced). These cables synergies well in my setup as best $ vs SQ delivery. Of course, there are better ones but my CFO won’t approve the investment. FYI, with this room, I am very critical about the quality of power supply. Therefore, at very stage of my electronics, whether a source, CA, phono, preamps or poweramps, each has it own dedicated circuit, consisted of 4mm wiring and with its own RCD. The main power cable to this room was conservatively sized to 26mm in diameter, directly from the main switch. This room has a sub-board with many RCDs, including two RCDs for internal splits Aircond and the wine cellar. General lightings is on separated circuit and so is the general GPOs within. Again, I found the quality of power supply/source has significantly influenced the final SQ......, no matter how advance the electronics are.....! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, power cable can interfere SQ that’s why most of them are shielded, but still can never guarantee it won’t affect SQ. Can you pm me for the xlr cable? I am also thinking moving sourced to back of my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could give you the detail, no worries. However, it’s best I lend these to you for a trial in your setup. If they synergy well, then go ahead investing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what ground rod resistance did you achieve....and how deep did you have to go to achieve that? i am asking because I am also in the process running a separate circuit to my listening room (waiting for the cables to arrive from Germany). I am going to install separate earth rods...so want to know what success others may have had with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
