an msb diamond DAC IV done in anodized gold with red anodized heat sinks would be pretty swanky match with the Dart stuff...![]()
totally happy with my Playback Designs streaming dsd and double dsd.
but i get the whole gold/red anodized thing.

Waiting to hear what your tapes sound like now--esp. if you've gotten your 1/2 inch releases!
Yeah that would be pretty much the end .
The only possible thing i could think of would be a switchable passive crossover for the the bass towers , just for trying once in a while as the darts have plenty of headroom
Mike technically do you think you are bi-amping?
i'll do some tapes tonight. i did get my first 1/2" from the Tape Project. however, i've sent the motors on my 1/2" Studer to Athan in SF for rebuilds and don't have them back yet. i do have a 1/2" headstack for ym ATR-102 but it's new and i've never installed it. hopefully i'll have those motors back this week and i can get it back together.
i do have 7 or 8 other very very good 1/2" dubs too. i am jones'ing for 1/2" tape now that the 'big rig' is fully operational. just how good can this whole music reproduction thing get? i'm about to find that out.
The reason I asked is because the bass towers are essentially a powered sub,You could consider the main towers as a full range separate speaker.
I think you are done.
Is it wrong to be in love with a room you've never been in, that's on the other side of the world, and you can only imagine how it sounds inside it? I don't know seems kind of weird but i'm in love.
Congratulations on your new acquisitions Mike Lavigne.
Nice stuff mike , it must be quite a step down listening on audioshows
Beautifull amps / cool design
There are no more upgrades to do. You have reached the end. Now there are only body modifications left; maybe a removal of cerumen is a good start, then a pair of Spock ears. :b
I think you are done.
pretty cool Mike, go and get a new hobby now - this one you are done!![]()
Surely you jestMike is the ultimate audiophile. Awesome equipment; great room; great source material. He is done ............ for now. It may be a year or four but I am comfortable saying that sometime in the future, he will upgrade SOMETHING. Maybe he will go to MM9's or different amps or improved preamp, but I would be amazed if he is "done". (Unless some financial disaster hits the Lavigne family).
If there is a nicer looking 2 channel room anywhere, I sure have not seen it.
