Clean smooth sound. No harshness from CD's.
Everyone who listens statest that it is the best sounding system they have ever heard.

Suck AC power. Ah tubes. Eight 300B's per amp.

Speakers: Apagee Studio Grand's.
Preamp: Classe 50.
D/A: Sonic Frontier

VAC's power the ribbon arrays. Classe 10's, monoblocked
for each sub.

Tried the Classe's on the ribbons. Compared to the VAC's
they had a harsh top end. Harsh sound overall.
NOTE that the Apagee's are very true to their input.

VAC's were expensive, but I will not trade them for
anything else.
I am very sensitive to CD harshness. FINALLY I can listen
and enjoy, now that I have the VAC's.

VAC's come with Golden Dragon tubes. Excellent match. 2 years on the same set of tubes.
Have now installed J&J tubes. They put out a little less power and are a little more delicate. They are beautiful tubes! Thick glass, white base. Wonderful blue glow while running. Cheaper, but expect the Golden Dragon's to last longer.
