This is the (current) end result of my conquest for the perfect set where only Audiophysic have been a constant factor in it. I am quit pleased a the moment. I'm justing squeezing (read tweaking) the set to get the most out of the used componentens. Spent a lot on powerkabels, fuses etc.
Excellent sound dac with integratie tube preamp stage.

System edited: At the moment I only stream. Sold my Forsell cd transport. Removed the Herron VTSP2 due to having only one source. Herron VTSP2 is a great preamplifier, but simplyfing a component out of the signalflow is even better!
Hi Ryder Sorry for the very late answer. But perhaps still usefull. The ceraballs give a substantial change. Components started to sound more refined. Better definition, increased soundstage.
System edited: After severall experiments the Blacknote DSS30i Tube convinced me that streaming is the future. Sold my Forsell CD transport and Chord DAC64.
I believe the Herron VTSP-3 is hard to get in Holland. Herron is using some lead in his amps which is not allowed in Europe. It is hard to import them because of regulations.
I like the Tesla tubes a lot. I also have a set of Pope tubes but the Tesla are much better. Bigger soundstages more dynamics.
System edited: After expirmenting with a Lyngdorf Room processor, I tried the Tact RCS 2.0. The lyngdorf was a bit dissapointing, because it was doing A-D D-A conversion. And not on the level of Chord dac64. The Tact is placed between the CD transport and the Dact, so it works completly in the digital domain. And does a nice job.
