Hi Greg ! It seems like yesterday that I posted you on one of the other sites to get over here and explore the "Logan Lure" !! Now look, you're well on your way, congrats !

We all love "work in progress", be sure to keep us abreast with pics as you proceed.

BTW, how's the combo of the Jolida, Prima Luna and Rotel ??

Amazing Aeon i System...

Greg,

Wow! What a wonderful Aeon i system you've got there... I see you keep your Anti Cables up off the floor to improve sound quality. What kinda tube amplifier are you looking at acquiring this year?

Excellent system! :band:

CoooL!!! And I know that Ikea chair! I used to have one a few years back...

Your setup looks to be getting there!

Thanks Twich, see what you started The Rotel is actually preety good.
I Know it can get better because i've heard it, but for a 15 year old amp
it's holding it's own.

Thanks Robin. The beauty of the Anti cables(the speaker cables) is that they are solid copper, so they maintain whatever shape you give them.

I want to get the PrimaLuna 5, or the six. The six are the mono blocs.
How much $$ I save up will decide which one I get. Most Likely I will get the
5 though, that's only about $1,500, while the six is about $2,200.
ARC VS-55 is also a candidate, but then I would want to get the same pre, so I might just stay away.

Did you try other cables before the anti cables? How did it compare?

 

[GregLett]

Did you try other cables before the anti cables? How did it compare?

Yes. Before the Anti cables I settled on Audioquest cables. I had Granite speaker cables and Jaguar DBS interconnects. They were fine but I found
that the anti cables had a more open sound stage. To my ears the stage
height was higher with the anti cables.
The best part is the price. I'm sure that I might be able to do better but I would have to spend thousands..not gonna happen These cables are doing an excellent job!

Did you get the autoformers?

 

[GregLett]

No. My friend got them, but they didn't work for him.
He felt they affected the sound in a negative way.
