Description

Hi all on Audiogon. First - many thanks to my wife for big patience!!! Here is my system. Iam worked on it around 3 years and now satisfied.

Sound of my system is very musical, dynamic and realistic. Fantastic microdetail!

I tested or owned some amps, source and other components, but now Mark Levinson is my favourite. I listening all good music and collect rarity CDs.

For my best CDs I use from fo.Q Remaster Ring Disk Stabilizer DS-25.For Emm Labs CDSDse transport Finite Elemente Ceraball Spider ceramic difference and for DAC6e fo.Q hi-end damping spacer G-53F. For all components I use Acoustic Revive QR-8 Quartz Resonator.

Second system Leben CS-300 and Reference 3a Dulcet. At this time I listen there only from PC. But I will like to buy some player like Ancient Audio Lektor V or Abbingdon Music Research CD-77.

In near future I will like to buy some turntable. I have one favourite. Verdier La Platine and Ikeda+SME V tonearms. But I will be glad to help with the selection.

Cheers

Robin

Great looking system-nice synergy at work there. Hope your 'sweet spot' is far enough away from spks so that you can enjoy them. The pooch seems to be,unfortunately,not as enthusiastic...

Hi Pasul, may I ask if the Ceraballs managed to bring an appreciable difference to the components that are placed under them? What sort of improvements are perceived when the Ceraballs are placed beneath the components?

I would appreciate your views. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark. Thanks for nice comment.

About Xindak power conditioner - I testing this conditioner in my system some weeks. This Xindak have isolation transformer+filter for low power equipment and only filter for power amps. And I must say, that I heard more clean sound background. More bass power. And for this price its very good equipment.

But I testing Isotek Nova. And we here(My hifi friends) compared it with Accuphase PS-500. And this is my future upgrade. My very, very big recommendation.

System edited. I tested signal cable Audioquest SKY DBS 72V XLR 1m. And cable stay in my system. Fantastical upgrade! Big recommendation for all systems, where you need more purity on all sound level. And more quiet on sound background.

I testing in system subwoofer WLM Basic Duo. Two 12" inside and DUO AMP power amp. Long time I search place for this sub. But now its good.

About sound I must say, that its really good sub. I dont tested in my system some other type. Velodyne DD-18 I listen in other system. But Its very hard to compare it in other system and room. Very soon I control sub with ATB PC Pro. Then I may write some more...

Hi Cincy_bob,

thanks for comment. All about Voba Acoustic are here:

Voba Acoustic

About sound I may say, that its very good.Splendid space, very dynamic and microdetail sound. Inherency of sound in space-I never hear something like this. Design are fantastic too. But this you may see on pictures.

Reference 3A Veena-my first speakers what I have. Long time is my main speakers. With Leben CS-300 very good start level in high-end. Now I use it for front speakers in home cinema system. I buy five months a go Blueray player and from this time I start buying concerts on Blueray disc. David Gilmore-Remember That Night. Fantastic...

I will like tu buy next Veena speakers for sorround speakers. Or next Dulcet.

Compared this speakers is very hard. Problem is, that Voba speakers are three time expensive than Veena. And V.A.C.T. are really better in every peaces of sound.

This looks like a great system, Robin!

I am not familiar with the VOBA Acoustic line of loudspeakers. Can you elaborate a bit on the design and sound characteristics of the VOBA speakers?

I see that you have a set of Reference 3A Veena loudspeakers in addition to the VOBA V.A.C.T. reference monitors that are featured in your pictures and your thread title.

What role do the Reference 3A floorstanders play in your systems, and how do they compare with the VOBA V.A.C.T. monitors?
