Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound


Unbelievable
I finally got my speakers position and sitting area position correctly for my system.
My system consist of
Macintosh 601 Mono-Block amps
Macintosh C47 pre-amp
bluesound node streamer, I’m using the DAC in my McIntosh C47
Martin Logan Renaissance 15A electrostatics
Tributaries reference cables all around, including power cables for the amps

Well, all I can say is I cannot believe the sound. I cannot pull away from listening to song after song.  Rap songs are absolutely clear and powerful.
Vocals are as if someone is singing in your room. especially the song, the Joke by Brandy Carlisle. I kid you not.
 The Sound  of Silence, by Two Cellos is astonishing. Plus, I never listened before, to that type of music. But is now in my play list. Go figure that out

Mainly, the setup produces clear 3D music. You can pin point where each instruments/song is intended to coming from in the original recording. Some time as many as 5 locations    Some really awesome imaging. Seriously, it’s like having audiophile level headphones on all the time

Maybe I should not be, but I’m surprised a System sounds this good. Its well worth the retail value put on it

Of course I can add this or change that to possibly get a better sound, but I am ok

However,  I did order and will receive a McIntosh C53 PreAmp  In a week to replace the C47. Mainly because of the equalizer’s and the ability to upgrade the DAC as the future dictates. The cost for the upgrade should be minimal compared to trying to purchase a new DAC all the time

Needed to post this because I am just so blown away with the sound

no need to be defensive... all that matters in this hobby/pursuit is to figure out what makes you happy and implement it

but you posted to invite input, and so you get commentary...  a begets b

don't mind the grumpy old men throwing popcorn from the cheap seats

just enjoy yourself - this forum has a bad habit of sucking any good energy out of the room, unfortunately

welcome to the club

we don’t obsess without good reason! 

there is a payoff, if one knows how to get there...  :)
I cannot recall the last time I adjusted bass or treble, I am not saying that my way is best - I’m just saying that’s how I listen to my music in my room.

but there are many times listening to my system that i do wish i did

there is such incredible variation in the sonic balance of different recordings...
