Audionet Stern PreAmplifier

[shakti]

I started already a thread about the great Audionet Stern Preamplifier,
It would make sense to continue the thread in the new Audionet hemisphere :

Audionet Stern PreAmplifier

My current set up was optimized to have a great sound with my former Wilson Audio Maxx 3 speakers. But the change to my new Avalon Osiris speakers was a challenge for the existing components. The Osiris is capable to reproduce a level of detail, which is much higher, than I was used from...

Late to this thread. We have the K50 and Stern in common in our systems. Almost anyways. K50 arrives in a few days and Stern is a few weeks out. How are you finding these two components?

Scott,

Do you find MIT cables to be a good match for Audionet electronics, specifically with the Stern and Heisenberg?

Scott,

I absolutely do. I am currently using MIT Oracle MA-X SHD and ACC272 speaker cables, in my top tier system; Audionet Stern/Heisenbergs, Wadax Atlantis, Antipodes K30 and Vivid G1 speakers.

Are you running single ended or balanced interconnects? Also, which impedance setting do you find sounds best? Have you been able to find an input impedance spec for the Stern?

Ehm... ACC272 speaker cables? Which brand are exactly?

I believe that is the top of the line speaker cable from MIT.

Single ended. The input impedance of the Stern is;
RCA=50k Ohms(Mid)
XLR=15k Ohms(Low)

This is the biwired version of the top of the line MIT ACC268 speaker cables.
