Bacch For Mac (BACCH4Mac) ...AMAZING in 'dah house now!

All streaming nowadays using Roon/Qobuz. Listening room is good but not going to get amazing as that's the house and state of our union.  I have more of a monitor set up with speaker placement. The sweet spot is just that and wider than just the center. 

The integrated AMP is a Rogers High Fidelity KWM-88.  I had that modified for using KT-170’s. What an AMP!   

The Grimm MU1/Weiss 501 are thrilling and have great synergy with AMP & Speakers. A Telegartner M12 Gold Switch helps too. An Aes/Ebu connection is needed for best results.

Added Hijiri Power cables. Yup.that anded a bit more or I'm deluded. Both work for me.

Have two Roon end points. The one in the listing room (nee den) uses the Grimm MU1 and the other one for the whole stereo is a Lumin D2 Network Streamer w/sboobster that given the in ceiling speakers is good.

Power and ethernet very cleaned up. No tin foil on ceiling. Yet. 

It's taken years but my wife now uses the system and likes having the tunes going. Praise Jah.

    • Theoretica Bacch For Mac.
    No going back. Crazy amazing.
    • Rogers High Fidelity KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier
    Sent back the 88 and had it modified to use KT-170's. Very glad I did.
    • Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Loudspeakers

    • Grimm Audio MU1

    • Weiss Engineering Weiss 501
    When is a DAC  more than a DAC?
    • Telegartner M12 SWITCH GOLD

    Their web site says "A complete network solution for Extreme Audiophiles." I'd say this thing is remarkable. Seriously.


    • AudioQuest Niagara 7000
    Had the furman power conditioner, IT-ref 15L but it seemed to flatten out the sound when compared to plugging AMP to wall. Yes it was an earlier excellent Garth Powell design but the Niagara keeps out of the way. The new 3000 would be what I would get now.
    Entire system (except sub) powers on/off with the 7000 and that's one of those little simple pure joy things.
    • Morrow Audio Anniversary Interconnect
    Clean neutral sound. Taken out for the Cardas. Will use in another system that will make use of XLR/dual mono
    • Zenwave Audio DPS-4 Power Cable
    • Morrow Audio SP7 Speaker Cable
    • Apple iPad
    Needed for running Roon/Qobuz.
    • B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) DB4S Subwoofer
    Just a smidge

    Look at them go especially when the lights with dinners are on in the next room
    • Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle
    For me It starts at the wall and if I could retrofit dedicated lines I'd do that too.

Congrats, very nice system!
I'm driving Harbeth 30.1 speakers with my PrimaLuna Dialogue Two integrated amp and found it to be a pretty good synergy, but been considering the Guarneri's for some time...
How do you like the Lumin T2 and how does the L1 integrate? Have you had a chance to compare to other streamers/servers/DACs?
