I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?


Had a productive couple of weeks on the used gear market and today has been digital demo day (Analog arrives next week). Added a Bryston BCD-3 and original Tara Labs Prime I/C’s to my system at very good prices. 

I don’t have “golden ears” by any stretch but I’m gob smacked at the results.

The BCD-3 is replacing an Oppo UDP-205 w/ DHL BL-1 I/C’s. Rest of gear is an Anthem STR integrated and ML Monti’s. My bass has easily doubled, maybe tripled. I can feel the pressurization in my room and it’s tight not bloated. 

I think this has been the biggest jump up in SQ I’ve experienced. What were your biggest surprises/improvements regardless of budget?

40+ years of getting closer.  New house in 2000...lights dimmed when major appliances kicked in...Central Maine Power Company comes, tests, following Sunday at 10am a crew installs a new transformer (WITH NEW GROUND) outside house.  Most recent, Furutech products to 10amp dedicated line, outlet/cover & male end to line conditioner and Nano Fluid to EVERY metal to metal contact.  When it comes back from my friend, driver connects to Salks & Blue fuse contacts...I describe the changes to audio pals, "imagine upgrading all pc's, interconnects and speaker cables...at one time!"  Happy tunes and may all your harmonics be even, Lads.  Pin
