| New system build It sounds like a lovely and well thought out system. Cary and Spendor work very well together and should give you a nice organic, warm, transparent sound. I don't think you need a sub but that's a question of taste obviously. Have fun putting it t... | |
| New Variac I have a variac! Now I have contributed as much, or more, than the OP! | |

| Your favorite album cover... Pink Floyd- Meddle Bob Marley- Catch A Fire | |

| Fred Volz and Emotive Sira Pre Amp Cool project Brad, I will be interested to see your impressions and track your progress. And congrats getting an essentially bespoke piece of audio gear is pretty damn cool! | |
| DAC help For my tube rig Just remember that Devore's rhymes with divorce! | |
| DAC help For my tube rig So Mr. Slipp have you gotten those Devore's yet? | |
| Care to recommend a preamp? I would remove the Supratek Chenin from your list, I used to own a Supratek Syrah, and found it to be incredibly poorly constructed and unreliable. Just my own experience of course ymmv but thought I would give you a heads up. |
