This is a mammoth system. Towering speakers, stacks of big machines crammed with cables, equipment stands, tweaks, software – some organized, some not, some in use, some not in use and many even new. All bunged in this luxurious, high ceiling, hi-fi only basement. Hi-Fi heaven and probably a Hi-Fi Laboratory as well.
I will always remember that this is the lab that taught me many hi-fi lessons years ago. How a humble Japanese turntable could upstage a Swiss-made digital source; why size matters in hi-fidelity and many more
Main system comprises of Roksan turntables, Esoteric transport and DAC, Cello pre-amp, Krell phono-stage, FM external cross-over, Shun Mook, Combak, C16 TMF, Goldmund cones etc
Snake pit of the hi-fi kind. What difference would Furutech Power Reference III cable make in this already heavily tweaked system? Would it be just another trunk in this hi-fi forest? Nope - not at all. The Furutech Power Reference III power cord made an immediate impact to the Cello pre-amp. The darker, quieter background of the pre immediately brings calm to the woodlands. Improved refinement, ambient and detail are felt all round..
A pair of 200w, Class AB Cello Rhapsody amplifier powers the Genesis G1 speakers. The pair of power amplifiers was drawing from a normal distributor.
Along came a spider - Isotek Titan!
The pair of power amplifiers drawing current directly from Isotek Titan. After this switch Cello Rhapsody amplifiers sounded way more powerful than just 200w rating. Music becomes more decisive with improved pace and grip. No artificial coloring or flavoring - just free flowing of clean, pure power.
Perhaps gold digging is my way of describing finding a LP or CD to play in the Lab. In this organized chaos there are plenty of surprises and hard to find stuff. When I was about to take more pictures of the gems to post here - my camera’s battery went flat…Urgh. Incidentally, the Lab is a Furutech deStat user and with so many good things to blow aka destat, re-chargeable batteries should always be available close by.
