Introducing My System

So the NAT Magmas are gone, replaced by Soulution...I thought you'd settled on the NAT hybrids?
And the Magnetostat stays despite your positive comments on the ?Thrax? preamp?
At some point, I plan to try the NAT Symbiosis New as well on the Clarisys. Enjoying the music so much now not to have the inclination to do so. Magnetostat SE I prefer right now in this setup over any other pre, including the Tara 30A.

Thank you for sharing your story, you made a big change from dynamic to ribbon speakers and from your previous NAT amplification to Solution, showcasing a clear shift toward a system prioritizing precision, neutrality, and high-resolution sound.


Enjoy your audio system for many hours.
 
Tubes and solid state are often when the magic happens. The finish you ordered on your Clarysis looks great!

[please forgive my poor English]

These two pics are a good example of what I call the "funny outward paradox of dark planars": they are visually imposing, but physically not cumbersome because they are flat.

Mine are approximately the same size (and they even more "stealth" than yours: they are black... ;-) So, visually imposing indeed.
But since they are not against the wall, I have access to two bookcases that stand behind (since the electronics are on the side, the cables slip under a carpet; so they must be flat). This way, panels are not cumbersome. The room area seems to be comparable.

It must be a great system. Enjoy !

I plugged the Austrian Audio The Composer headphones into my laptop to listen to this.
Very interesting, thanks ! (It almost ends up convincing me that, ultimately, system videos are credible.)


Who plays the violin in Bach, 2nd video ? It seems to be a recent recording. (Esoteric label recently issued a remaster of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, SACD hybrid, played by Nathan Milstein with his legendary Stradivarius; an amazing instrument that I heard 2 years ago as it is now played by Dutch violinist Janine Jansen)
