Normally just the Kinki amp. This day I was trying the Decware to see how it drove the very difficult load ML CLS.

@carlsbad I thought that was a Decware as soon as your picture came up. They're on my bucket list. Nice looking offices, and systems gentlemen. I'm thinking of getting a remote SVS sub next. Probably that newer 10"(?) model. Office furniture sure changes things as far as placement. The all in ones can be compelling. I'm quite smitten with these Parasound Z series amps.

Allison CD8s pushed against the wall, supported by SVS sb2000 sub I don't really need and forget to turn on sometimes, fed by an old Carver CD changer, an old Tascam DAT, an RPi Digione running Volumio, run through a Cyenne DAC and powered by a Creek evo100. Sitting in a cheapo Monoprice rack. Sometimes I swap speakers to an old set of Shahinian Lyres that are otherwise stacked in the next room, on low stands a foot out from wall. I have a Denon 47f in the closet w records in that room too, but ran out of shelf space for it. |

@jl35 I was very intrigued by the JOB amps and later the STA200. Almost bought one, is it a keeper? |
It’s a great sounding amp at a great price, but has high gain and can be difficult to match with speakers and preamp. There are a few threads about this, including a current one. They were originally released at $1299, and at that price a long time TAS recommended amp, then closed out at $499, usually $350 - $400 used now. Often a great match with a passive pre, and my Freya S is adjustable and can be used active or passive with a few gain settings. Both my speakers are about 84db sensitivity...I had owned and sold a few before, always liked them...but in this system it is an outstanding amp at a great price and a definite keeper...and it's small and runs cool, so great for office/desktop... |

Luxman L507ux MkII driving Dynaudio Heritage Specials (+ Rel T9x) and Harbeth P3ESR XD (+ Rel T5x). Sources include Metronome LePlayer CD Player, Innuos Zen Mini + LPSU, Chord Qutest, 2 x Silent Angel Bonn N8 & LPSU. Am about to add a PS Audio Perfect Wav SACD player and Holo Audio May DAC. Hope there is an audible improvement 🤞

@dcpillai Very nice office, I've got a Sboosted Qutest, I'd be curious how the Holo stacks up to them. Looks like the new Gustard might need a look too? Happy Monday |
