My stereo


I have completed my "forever" hifi system yesterday with the addition of the AI Modulus 2C. The pre-amp has been repaired and it lives again. This is shortly after getting the Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II speakers and four identical Kenwood L-05M mono block power amps. I play digital audio content off Quboz through my SMSL DO100 Pro DAC with digital volume control. The 32-bit digital volume control on the DAC allows me to control volume with the remote and reduce the level of the input, making the pre-amp function with modern sources, in a more modern way (one volume control instead of two on pre-amp, with remote control). This system is very important to me as it gives me an escape into the land of music exploration. Now that I've gotten everything working I am going to leave it alone. No touching tubes, wires, or anything like that. I'm using WBC Mogami 2964 cables throughout. 6 foot interconnects from pre-amp to amps. 0.5 foot between DAC and pre-amp. I also use a Furman AC-215A power conditioner with everything.

I have had what I thought was my forever system since 2012. I haven’t changed anything. But I just added an Atoll MS120 streamer this last Friday. Man do I  love it!!!  Now I think I’m there. I have been retired for nine years so funding for future upgrades is far more challenging now so it’s a good thing w still absolutely love my system. Here’s what I have:

McIntosh

MX122 A/V processor, MVP871 disc player, (3) MC501 mono blocks, (1) MC402 stereo amp, MPC1500 power controller.

Atoll MS120 streamer

Speakers (All Legacy Audio)

Whisper HD (L/R mains), Marquis (center), Studio HD (surrounds), Foundation (Subwoofer).
