Decware has landed.
12/15/14 at 14:03:52

So I couldn't help my self and bought some second hand Decware gear. I picked up the SE84B and the MG944s. Together with my NuForce Oppo 93 and cables from ALO I'm getting ridiculously awesome sound. With all my Decware gear bing "outdated" I can't wait to hear the current stuff.

Everyday this "built for the broke ass audiophiles" rig, as I believe Steve put in one of his papers, continues to grow on me. I actually bought a bunch of MA CDs recently and it is breathtakingly beautiful. Simply breathtaking. Stuff like this should be illegal! :)

Reply #9 - 01/02/15 at 22:54:09 Exactly, I almost put my Trends TA-10.2 back in just to see what the extra 8 watts would do but then though, "why bother", and flicked the power switch at the back and put on Random Access Memories. Life is good.

I don't listen to radio music in the car any longer. It just sounds crappy! LP's I'm spinning with the superzen - zp3 combo are just getting better and better as the zp3 breaks in. Enjoy!

How do you like the VPI and Grado combo? I've thought about adding a TT to my system a million time but when I do the cost/complexity and starting over on a record collection just takes it out of the equation. For example, your set up as far as the source is concerend is close to 5-6 grand no? I could get an end of game CD player for 3-4 grand and have 2 grand left over to splurge on music. Convince me I need a table...

Hey Kboe, Love the superzen / zp3 combo with the traveler / grado gold. But I know I can get more detail with a better cart so, saving for ortofon 2m black as recommended by Steve D. I've done a few listens CD vs same LP. LP's more liquid with bigger soundstage...more 3D. But, to be fair my CD player is a cheap technics 5 disc carousel that's got to be at least 15 years old. I'd say the ZP3 and TT total was around $2400 cables not included. I would have not gone the TT direction had I sold all my vinyl which had been in storage for 25+ years. But, Glad I kept the vinyl!

I went that route about 8 years ago. I had a VPI Scout on order but canceled it and went with Kevin's fully modified Technics 1200. Very glad I did. Here's a link you can start with: http://www.kabusa.com/1200agon.htm
