A Really Fyne Show!

by waltersalas on Done For Now

Description

I haven't updated my system in a while and found it amusing to reflect on how many times I have said, "this is it" with total conviction over the years. I won't say that now, but will say that my current combination of gear is providing the best overall sound I have ever had, and also the most functionality and least amount of glitchy trouble. Maybe I am not done, but I am not sure how I could improve much on what I have now, or whether it would be the worth the trouble to try.

    • Technics 1200G Technics
    • van den Hul Frog Gold
    Still breaking in, but I already love this cartridge. It gets the music right.
    • Fyne Audio F704
    Musical, dynamic, and gorgeous to behold. I love these speakers!
    • Clarity Audio Vortex
    The Vortex cables are reasonably priced and just great at getting out of the way and allowing the music to pour through without coloration.
    • VAC Renaissance Phono Stage SE
    The best of several phono stages I have owned. Unless I hit the lottery, the VAC will be in my system for a long time to come. It has been years since I've spent as much time spinning vinyl!
    • Audience AU24 SX Speaker Cables and Interconnects
    My first experience with Audience cables, and I love them. So real and textured, a great balance between refinement and dynamics.
    • Aurender N20
    Excellent server, streaming Quboz through it with no issues and amazing sound. Also have 5000 CDs ripped and stored on it. Wonderful!
    • Lampizator Baltic 4 DAC
    I have owned several Lampizator DACs, most recently the Baltic 3. I just cannot seem to resist the wonderful tone, texture, and holographic soundstage of the Lampi DACs, especially with the right combination of tubes/cables.

    The Baltic 4 is on order. I can't wait to welcome it into my system.
    • Puritan Audio Labs PSM156
    An excellent power conditioner, unrestrained dynamics and a very low noise floor.
    • Synthesis Art in Music A100 Titan

    After a years long quest to find the perfect solid state solution, I finally went back to tubes rather than a fun but ultimately fruitless quest to find a "tube-like" solid state integrated. The Synthesis is relatively unheralded in the United States, but it is a stunning amp with a remarkably good onboard DAC. I feel like Synthesis amps may be the best kept secret in high end today.
