I can also sub out the EF-1 and the dynamic cans and use my Stax SRM-1/MK-2 (it fits width-wise, and just hangs a little of the back. I would eliminate the upsampler in that case. this combo sounded great at the recent NJ meet. Note: I can sub out the Sony for my new Shanling CDP, it fits, and can use my Benchmark DAC-1 instead of the moodlab (just barely fits!). Feet: MapleShade Low Radiused Heavyfoot. On the table, GS-1000 (balanced with Stefan Audio Art Equinox cable, but used here with matching Balanced-to-SE adapter, not shown). These are hanging on a Senn Headphone Clasp. HPs: Connected: Senn HD600 with Moon-Audio Black Dragon cable. Bottom Shelf: CDs - you can see part of Eric Clapton. Next Shelf: Head-Direct EF-1 Hybrid Amp, with RCA cleartop 12AU7 tube in an E.A.T. Next Shelf Down: Vintage Sony Discman (D-555) with Optical Out (connects to Monarchy), on top of moodlab "concept" DAC. Top Shelf: Monarchy DIP Upsampler (converts 44.1 to 96) - takes input from the Wadia and the Sony (below), and allows manual switching between them. ![]() ![]() Top of Unit : iPod Classic, 160 GB, Generation 6 -> Wadia iTransport 170i Dock. Shelving custom made by Forever Redwood (shelves are 2" thick fir). This is my compact "upstairs" rig, all half-rack-width or less components. That's the reason for the variety of gear.I really do seem to find the right combination for different styles of music. I love them! The HD650's were 'phones from a while back and when I went balanced with the Headroom BUDA it was a no-brainer to get the recable from Moon.Īlthough my music collection isn't large compared to some, it does represent many different genres. They have the JMoney pads and Silver Dragon v.2 balanced recable with the split-mod dual entry. I decided to do the Manufaktur route with Drew at Moon Audio. The DT880's were a real labor of love since I'd previously owned both 250-ohm and 600-ohm versions. I'd previously owned Denon AH-D2000's and loved them so when the "J&R price" came up on the 7000's I felt I had to jump on them. I jumped on the HF-2 because it seemed like a great opportunity and I like Grado 'phones. The Woo and the GS1000 were the first major purchases after the 840C. I don't regret anything that I sold but if money grew on trees I'd still have some of it. ![]() I had about a 10-year hiatus from serious listening and decided it was time for a change. I ended up with all of this gear because I sold just about all of the gear that preceeded it. ![]()
