New Alpha PCs in the system
Just picked these up from my dealer, an Alpha NR and EF. The NR is for the phonostage and the EF for the Linn Klimax Streamer, which requires the smaller plug. I installed Alphas in the rest of the system last year (preamp, amp and Denali), so this completes the transition from Ztron series to Alpha for all power and ICs - excellent cables, thanks Caelin. Next will be speaker cables, which are now Shunyata Cobra Ztron, but that will be a little while yet - the Ztrons are still great cables, and other priorities may get in the way.

Good for you Tony, and I like how they use a quality card.

Thanks Ed & Stephen, I just hooked them up today but I’ll be away all week, so no listening until this weekend.☹️

New Alpha PCs in the system
I’ve had a chance to do some listening in the last couple of days. I’m hearing a bit tighter/more specific imaging and a slightly deeper and wider soundstage. A nice improvement but nothing revelatory - but since I’ve already been using a Denali, the two components previously had Cobra Ztrons, and the rest of the system was already on Alphas, I wasn’t expecting an earth-shattering change. A worthwhile update, and now the whole system is Alpha PCs.

Congrats Tony.

Thanks Steve. See you in a couple of weeks.
|
Thank you for sharing your impressions Tony. :thumbsup:
