All, thank you for your input.
I do have a budget, $12k. I could slide it to $13k. I have owned the Focal Clear’s and ran them on a Moon product. I only really used it when I was sitting at my desk working, never for serious listening. If there were a Can Jam coming soon, I would. But, I’m trying to make some ill-advised spending decisions…#dadlife. I can’t let this money sit, it’ll get re-budgeted to a Disney trip. So yeah, I’m looking to ya’ll to help me make some poor financial choices.
This is what I’ve researched and am sort of sitting at:
Violectric V280
HiFiman HE1000 v2
DenaFips Pontus
I kept my Shunyata power cabling and my Nordost QX4/Qbase setup. I still need a USB cable, was thinking the Curious cable and I also need a set of interconnects…open to suggestions on those as well.
As a dedicated music streamer, I’m using an Aurender.
Also, do any of you use power conditioning for your rigs? I did research, heavily, the Woo Audio stuff, I just can’t commit to a tube system. I’ve got kids, and lets face it, I’m here because I will justify spending $1200 on tubes, just as easily as spending $50 on them.
