Absolutely love the upgrade decisions you made. That first picture belongs in a magazine for PrimaLuna!

@toro3 You were correct, I replaced the monster with a PS Audio UPC-200. Sounds noticeably cleaner...dynamic?

@jond I got it fully tricked out! Enormously better sounding than the Node2i built in DAC.

Ha I hear you on the OCD thing! Looking good did you mod the Musical Paradise or is that stock?

@jond My OCD got the best of me and I upgraded everything except the power management and speakers....check the pics. I forgot how addictive this stuff was haha...

@toro3 I have not messed with it. I went with this particular unit because it was affordable protection...Im sure I’ll upgrade it in the near future.

J - Great looking system. Have you tried taking out that Monster power conditioner out of the equation to see if there was a difference in sound? I had the same exact model a while back and found it restrictive. If not, more power to you!

Cool looking system! What Dacs are you thinking about? Maybe Wadia to match the amp?
