Description

I never dreamed of having such a sophisticated sound system. Fortunately for me, a friend was upgrading his whole system and we were able to make a deal on this one. I added the Apple TV and Hegel DAC and I was good to go. Lucky me.

Components Toggle details

    • Apple TV 2nd Generation
    Apple's latest version of the Apple TV streams audio files from my PC via WiFi.
    • Hegel HD10
    Made in Norway, this DAC is relatively unknown in USA. True balanced, 24/192 capable. Four inputs including USB, Optical and two coax. So far, I am really enjoying it.
    • Balanced Audio REX
    Top of the line BAT Rex tube preamp. This component is unbelievably sophisticated.
    • Jeff Rowland Model 312
    Beautiful, rock solid amp. 500 watts @ 8 ohms. Incredible sound.
    • Martin Logan Summit
    Electrostatic speakers with two subwoofers in base of each.
    • Nordost Valhalla
    XLR terminated state of the art cables
    • Nordost Valhalla
    Ribbon speaker cables
    • Shunyata Hydra 8
    Power conditioner extraordinaire.
    • Edsal DIY
    This is a heavy duty shelving rack made by Edsal. I had a 3/8 glass shelf made to fit the footprint of each component. These glass shelves sit on Vibrapods which sit on the shelves of the Edsal unit. I will upgrade at some point, but for now this seems to be working.

I love your oriental wooden piece on the back - however, sound wise, wouldn't you do better with some room treatment?

Just wondering if you might be into that - as you know, it does improve the sound.

Congrats on your system. You are so fortunate that you got them all in one deal - saves a lot of time and effort.

I know it's not classy to ask, but how much did your friend let you have that for?

Enjoy the system - you have good taste!
