tonight I've been listening to some redbook rips from some CD's Jazdoc gave me that he wanted to hear in my system, a number of them. and they sound absolutely amazing. these transcend any idea of format limitations into pure musical wonderfulness. it could be tape for all I know.
the synergy i'm hearing from my system has risen to a whole different level now. and i'm a bit stunned......which compelled me to post this. if this is just a collection of incoherent thoughts I apologize....but trying to relate this as best I can.
lately I've gone a bit crazy on tweaks. the MSB Select II is not a bad piece to aim the tweaks at......there is that too.
I've added the Tripoint Elite onto the sources, which allowed me to move the Troy Sig to the amps, added grounding cables to the main speakers. upgraded the Entreq cables to the infinity level. added the Hardpoint Trinia and Serene footers to the power supplies of the MSB and the SGM server. the Taiko Tana TS-150 with it's new LPS is still in-bound to be added to this mix in the next few weeks. not sure where it will be inserted into the mix.
and tonight, listening to redbook files.....according to some the most lowly of high end source material, it is superb without any qualification and i'm loving every second of it.
why tweak? my sense is that each tweak properly done is really a multiplier of other tweaks. not just additive, but enhancing the effect of the other one.
take a mature system and remove those last bits of distortion, optimize each piece......and the music comes alive.
why tweak?
added note; these tweaks also are boosting the analog side of things, but that is a story for another time. I have some new (to me) fresh vinyl I've been enjoying too.
