Okay Mike,
I've changed my system descriptions.
Now, tell me your opinion of my system. I'd really like to know. One thing that I will ask is that if you haven't actually heard the Wadia S7i, Spectron amp or Caravelle speakers, tell me so that we'll have a starting point of reference.
I know that everyone's listening preference is a little different and I'm a computer programmer and former musician who likes an extremely transparent system. I want to hear what each instrument is doing because it's interesting to see how an artist puts together a song. I want that, but I also want it in a layered soundstage that is both deep and wide.
In order to do that, as you know, the level of distortion needs to be as low as possible. I saw that you have or used to have a Running Springs power conditioner. I used to use Chris' Stereovox cables years ago too, and currently use the cables from Craig, who designed the Running Springs HZ Crown Jewel power cord.
I have a small room, 10' x 12.5', and I don't need thunderous bass. I'd rather have bass that's tight and defined and that won't overtake the small room.
Also, I'd like your thoughts concerning running a music server into the USB port of my Wadia. I first thought that your Music Vault Diamond was a server, but I see that it is a transport. Is it a server too?
Chuck
