I have to button up the cabling but I am just not motivated this morning. Just letting the classic Soul and R&B play list play. While running the system through its paces, I just have the biggest smile on my face. Wish I could put my finger on what is different this time around. I am just so satisfied with the way this turned out. As expected, the Grand Integra gear is pairing together oh so nicely. It sounds spectacular and enjoyable. This system is just whimsical and fun.
Meters, more meters and EQ graphics! With not quite audiophile direct connections and long runs of cables? I joke that I turned in my Audiophile card with this build. I most assuredly did. In its place I managed to put on a hobbyists/enthusiast hat. It’s a better and more sustainable fit. And all the while, inspite of all that, landed on good sound also. Somehow I managed to find harmony between the neurotic collector, irrational Audiophool and that young man who saw systems only others could afford with a little bit of envy.
I am literally one piece away from completing this build. It has been acquired and I am simply awaiting it in the mail. It will be sure to impress some (probably just me), it is quite special, well for the nouveau Vintage fans among us.
