tboooe Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Nice and neat! What speaker cables are those? Thank you! I use Tara Labs The One cables and interconnects. Once I get some funds I will be upgrading to Light Harmonic Lightspeed USB as well. 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
tboooe Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 After all these years, many moves and a few changes here is my current setup in Italy. It's a very quirky room. We live in a renovated 200 m/sq mansarda (attic) in a very old building, in a very old town(founded in 991). I was shocked at how good the room sounds after a long and painstaking speaker placement. It has sloped ceilings, irregular angles and opens to the rest of the house and to the outdoors. Gear is detailed in my signature. I recommend a glass of our local wine, a bit of salami, a chunk of cheese with warm focaccia - just out of the oven! That room looks incredible with so much character and history! Did you consider adding any room treatments? I know it would be difficult to alter the natural beauty of that room with treatments though! So is that an open invite to come over for some wine??? 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
tboooe Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Rosso o Bianco o Spumante? My CA homeys' are always welcome. As to room treatments, I'm hoping that someone here will offer suggestions. I will take all 3!! Where in Italy are you? I've been to Milan and Lake Como. Next year I will be headed to Southern Italy and Spain. As for room treatments it looks like you have a lot of hard, reflective surfaces (floor, low ceiling). You could treat these areas with a rug and some panels. For looks I like Vicoustic. But before you add treatments, are you happy with your sound? If so, I say enjoy more vino and buy more music! BTW, I purchase music from Qobuz and love it. Their Studio Master downloads are both eclectic and good sounding. 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
tboooe Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Nice system Eternaloptimist! You have a huge room. I am jealous. Here in Southern California I can only afford a little shack by the beach. My listening room is only 9x10'. I noticed your left speaker is next to a a window. So you find the reflection bothersome? Have you tried covering the glass to see if there is any improvement? By the way, Australia is such a beautiful country. But I am sure you know that! I sent my kids there last summer. They loved it! 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
