You're welcome. Please package up the Dali's carefully, and send them to me. Dali's are fantastic speakers, and I really love the natural sound and imaging of ribbon tweeters.

Fantastic system!

Fantastic system!

You'd have to pick it up instead. Don't have the crates anymore

.
They do sound fantastic! Still bringing a smile to my face 5 years later

. Thanks for the kind comments.

That is A System,I Would Be Proud to Call My Own

.

Every Piece and Component are Both Beautiful as well as Incedible Performers.I cant find a Single Thing In This Amazing System to say could be slightly better.Because I Dont Believe it Gets Much better then This.

Stand Up and Feel Proud(I Know I Would)You,fine sir,have assembled a System That I see as Inspiration to have me improve mine.
Also Those Dali Speakers and Isolation Platforms are Just too Good to be True.

And Did I overlook it,or did you list what Speaker Cables and InnerConnects you are using?

Thanks For Sharing your Passion as well as Extra Time and Money With Us.As I would Imagine this A/V System has Taken Up More Then Its Fair Share,of all of th Above.

Thank you. It's taken me many many years, starting way back in 1991. It has been a wonderful, never ending journey.
Yes, I listed my cable brands.

talstarone · 11-01-2009, 09:47 AM

Thank You

.

I am not familar with PureNote, but I have found that on a weekly basis or so I find a New Brand of IC's or Speaker Cable that I was not aware of.

And I am in the process of putting my 2-channel System back together with a SACD Player and a Turntable.
I will use the Rotel Two Channel Amp and Rotel Pre-Amp I have now.
I will use the Fronts and possibly the sub as well,from my Home Theater System.As my AV Receiver has a bypass mode.

So I do believe in the difference Quality Cables can make in bringing out More Detail in the Music.

In the Past I had used All AudioQuest cables.But my local Dealer stopped carrying them.
TheCable Companies they stock and carry the most of in-house(without placing a Special Order)are Transparent Cables and AudioLink.

At the moment I am using Monster XPHP 10awg speaker wire.Philips Top Line IC's(a Gift From a Close Friend and Outstanding 2-Channel Audio Nut

) and Both Monster and Philips HDMI Cables.

And I do know Monster is often extremely overpriced by certain retailers.But I paid a good deal less the $1.00/ft for a 100ft Spool.So I am Happy in that Regard.

So I was wondering if you have an impression as to the sound quality your cables are providing with in your system.And also the Upgraded Power Cables I see you are using as well.

Sorry to be so inquisitive but I am just trying to learn all I can as I continue putting together the 2-Channel End of my System.

And,I must Say Again.The Work You Have Put Into Your System Shows Thru In Every Single Detail.It is Incredible

.

talstarone,

I believe good quality cable can make a difference, power cords especially in my case. You'll get many on the other end but you have to ultimately decide if you do hear a difference in your system and if it's worth the upgrade.

Did a bit of demoing about 4 yrs ago with many different companies and I found the Pure Notes for my budget, were the most neutral in my system. They're a bit more expensive now but you can still get some at great used prices at audiogon.

Look into these guys. http://www.anticables.com/. Been hearing good things about them lately.

Jose.

Thanks Andrew. Was looking for a pre/pro that can sound as good as my 2ch pre. This may be the one as 2ch is that good. Now I can sell my pre and simplify my system. The only other HT pro I've heard to have great 2ch playback was the Proceed AVP I owned a while back. Still remember that SQ...

Thank You Sincerely for taking the time to answer my Question

.

I appreciate both the reply as well as the link.I will certainly give these cables a good look.

And I still have to say your system is easily one of my Favorites.

Not much to say but

Drew664 · 11-02-2009, 07:21 PM

I would have loved to see how you got that Moon amp on that rack.

LOL, doesn't appear to be much wiggle room.

Fors* · 11-02-2009, 07:39 PM

Your equipment is incredible (especially those speakers......Dali's!!.

) I can't take my eyes off of the Classe and that Moon Titan monster amp either. That is one set-up that maintains the past while incorporating the future. The power and beauty you have there is a perfect blend....every thing is top notch...great job!

I can only imagine the heat that the amp puts off. And we have people b!tch!ng about the heat a plasma may put off. Probably a small space heater in the winter.
