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.

Take a sigh of relief and enjoy! I retired a couple years ago and would like to think I have completed my system. Although I upgraded my speaker cables a few months ago. But being on retirement my resistance to buy has been harnessed although…

That’s a tall order. Congrats though on achieving a level of satisfaction and contentment. Takes some character. Try not do any comparative listening to other’s systems. This is where temptation will originate. Enjoy. 

@olds1959special  So glad to hear you Think you are Done…

(…I give it a couple of months… ha)

Peace Out ✌️

Congratulations on your retirement! I too have retired and completed my audio equipment quest! The last piece was a streamer which allows me access to both my own library as well as almost all the music available to hear. What a great place to be! Enjoy your retirement and the music, I am!
