Phanteks is a good choice.

This one is much better than the last version. It had horrible air flow. Eventually need to upgrade my gpu but I don’t play games much anymore so I’m in no rush.

And without iPhone night trickery:

Even the volume knob lights up? That’s pretty cool!

Congrats on the amp. At Canjam, that amp paired with the lina dac and 1266 was a highlight for me.

Spent the day yesterday adding isolation feet to my system shelf, the power conditioner and setting up the new plinth for the Voxativs. You can’t see it in the pictures but it’s white quartz with grey and gold veins through it. Very Liberace of me. lol

Adding a solid heavy plinth as a foundation for speakers has been IMO one of the best bang for the buck “audio upgrades” yo can do, $100 cash and I got to pick the perfect stone pairing. While I was at it, I upgraded the steel ball bearing on the feet to silicon nitride ceramic, they look like little black pearls. :slight_smile:

Still things here and there that I want to do, but it’s getting pretty damned perfect and I still have yet to upgrade the speaker cables. I know I’m leaving something on the table with the Kimber 8TC but they just sound so right tonally in the vocal range compared to everything else I’ve tried. The Cable Company has a “library” of cables to check out so once I refill my audio hobby coffers I’ll be paying them a visit.

I owe you guy some first impressions on the Voxativs but honestly I’ve had to do so much work and try so many things, I’ve really only just gotten near to their full potential and the cables will be such a big factor.

In a nutshell though, they’re the best speakers I’ve ever experienced in my system… by quite a margin.

Super clean setup! Mine looks like a pigsty in comparison

Looks superb and those speakers are gorgeous.
Need to take component isolation lessons from you.
What’s that power conditioner btw?

Thanks, it’s been a work in progress about a year and a half to get here but every step has been with a focused destination and I’m close now. :slight_smile:

Richard Gray’s Power Company 1200 It’s basically a two channel huge heavy ass isolation transformer. It can funnel a lot of current which if you’ve got an amp that like current they tend to do better plugged into the wall or into something like this than into a power regenerator.

It’s small but it’s mine and my wife doesn’t give me a hard time about anything I do in there. As long as I keep it not messy, she gives me a hard time about that. And it isn’t always this clean and tidy, I spent all day yesterday cleaning up and all I got from her was an approving nod, nothing more. She’s tough. lol

Really nice, and well organized too. What are the feet under the LTA integrated called?

Just some Chi-Fi knock offs of Cerabase ceraball product. They’re pretty good though stainless and ceramic bearings.

Take some pictures next time you are moving things around of your isolation stuff and drop it in the thread we set up. You did a damned fine job and it’s so visually impressive. It’s nice when you can take both the sound and visuals of the whole room to the next level. Congratulations one of the prettiest systems around!:pinched_fingers:

I still can’t believe you run that level of gear at a work office / cubicle. Sweet setup!

Total Dac under office table :upside_down_face: …not too bad, but I think some amp/speaker would love to get attached :wink:

At the end of each of his videos, the Audiophiliac has a viewer’s systems of the day and give a high level description of them, this would be a notable system indeed… like WTF?
