I‘ve been on this highway for about 15 years, but my system was pretty static for the few years preceding 2020. In Feb of 2020 I decided to get the best system I could find/afford and not go thru another round of incremental upgrades over several years. That journey was fun, and a learning experience, but not the best use of time or money.
I’ve had great support from the guys at dCS, D’Agostino, and JS Audio in Bethesda MD. The Kennedy brothers who own JS Audio drove 4 hrs to my home with my Sasha DAWs and spent a couple hours placing and fine tuning them, and getting me set up for network streaming thru my dCS gear. It was a really cool couple of hours as we listened to the same song, over and over again. They did let me slip on one of my reference songs once in a while, and the beers were excellent.
I went to Venice a few years ago, and got hooked on Murano glass; the atmosphere in my listening room is just so damn mellow, and I have my choice of 256 colors for the lights under the glass dolphin and bird statues. Who could ask for more.
I also am learning guitar, and one of my benchmarks is can I get my guitar to replicate what the system is producing, and vice versa. I am there, emphatically.
I’m getting ready for an upgrade to the power system and that’ll probably be it for a while; 2021 is the year of enjoyment...
