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?

First musical gobsmacked moment was hearing Pink Floyd live.  WOW! I'd no idea music could sound like that.  

Second we hearing a true audiophile system at a shop in Apeldoorn.  They had a Musical Fidelity separates with something from B&W. They had to kick me out of the shop cause I wouldn't stop listening.

Just switched from Tidal to Qobuz and set up Roon - I've been in an constant state of gobsmacked-ness over all of it.  Like a kid in a candy shop.  :)

I'm also gobsmacked that autocorrect is correcting this correctly :)
