my first hight end sound system , please don’t ignore

dimitris7,

Congrats on acquiring a pair of MS5's. I have the gorgeous Alpi finish & they sound just as gorgeous as they look, with a lush soundstage & dynamics to die for! My system is showcased @ US Audiomart if interested:

Your system is admittedly probably several orders of magnitude higher than mine, so you will probably feel goosebumps when you finally get the synergy.

My most recent purchase was Apple TV 4K & I must say it sounds rather astonishing compared to my previous generation Apple TV feeding into my Oppo BDP105. My source for that feed is my MacBook Pro running iTunes. I am running a DD turntable feeding a tube phono preamp for my vinyl rig with very satisfying results - again due in large part to the synergy that of course takes a while to figure out.

As others have confirmed, synergy is the key; I have found running tri-wire speaker cable made quite the difference even though I am only powering the MS5's with a Hybrid Integrated with only one set of speaker outputs. The secret was, for lack of better description, the geometry of the wiring from amp to speaker. I experimented extensively for sometime & found the perfect geometry; I was taken aback quite literally when finding the perfect synergy. Have been quite satisfied for nearly a year now not having made much change other than relocating to another state.

I took the "Diagonal Bi-Wire" idea (from I think it was either Nordost or Audioquest) to the next level but in a Tri-Wire configuration instead. Do some research on it & since you are an electrician, I think you will in all likelihood figure it out. It didn't seem like it was going to make much difference, but in my case it made a world of difference, particularly in the bass definition.

Keep us posted!

Definitely on the right track! Edge amps are excellent and very underrated. My only thought is you might find the combination of a SS amp, silver speaker cables and a ribbon tweeter on the bright side. Then again it may be perfect for you. Most of all let your ears be the judge and don't second guess yourself and happy listening!

thank you Eric for your tips !
i am also feeding my source from my mac, i can not wait the time to power things up and take it from there , like i said i’m curently working with my space, and changing few outlets , and waiting some cables and sobrothane for my audio equipment to be delivered so i can start putting things together , but i think if things goes well i will be ready to power them up and start working with my space “acoustic wise” and locating the speakers by march.
and finaly start puting together the turtable .
i don’t know much yet about turtables , but i think i will end up with a used VPI , u can get a good deal for around 1500$ with a separate from the body belt motor 
 i’ve read that, seperate motor turnables isolate the motor vibration from the turtable (make sense,, lol)
i also plan spending around 800,1000 for cartridge ,,
no idea yet about tonearm and wiring .... 

I agree with Jond. When I read that you were using silver speaker cables I almost cringed. I have experimented a lot with cables and found the more silver there is in a system, the less organic and natural it will sound. I would suggest staying with 100% copper all the way. It's very subjective, and as the others have said you really need to find the balance between all your components, power cables, and interconnects. Even changing your power cables on each unit will effect each component individually. Once again I suggest 100% copper is the way to go.
