This system evolved after a little over a year of listening and looking for a unique blend of equipment that would bring musical joy to my ears and home.
I have enjoyed the omnidirectional presentation for many years, having owned Larsen, Ohm, and Shahinian loudspeakers in the past. I like the live feel they give to my music, the Duevel Venus seemed to be a natural partner to the LinnenberG amplifiers, maybe a German synergy?
The Innuos Zen and LinnenberG DAC/pre have been a thrill to use, they work wonderfully together. The Zen is so simple to use and makes a great source to feed the Telemann with. After enjoying the Zen for awhile now, I don’t know how I could ever do without it! Note-Innuos Zen has issues, currently using a Lindemann Bridge 2, and I am really impressed with this little box!
The Holbo air bearing turntable is a very new addition to the system. I have been wavering on analog for sometime now. This table is well made, fairly simple for air bearing arm and platter. Currently using an entry level cartridge, but a good one in the Nagaoka MP-110, but I will be exploring better in the future.
All components sit on BASE isolation platforms, and cabling comes from DH Labs throughout. Other tweeks and accessories will be evaluated in time, in continuing to fine tune a very fun system.
