Default TOGA 2019 update

Hello, The last time I posted here in Member System Forum was TOGA 2015 upgrades.

A usual audiophile’s life 4 years later what remained are Magico Q7.
Gone was TW Acustic Black night TT and two pieces SACD player.
Gone also the fantastic Gryphon Mephisto.

Added were Magnepan 3.7i as an alternate taste, MOON’s magical 888 and 850P,
And a surprisingly great Luxman D08u. Tidal by MOON MiND2 was also added as new source.
I tried MOON 780D V2 for MQA Studio musics, but I prefer my own non-MQA Ayon CD35 fed by MOON
MIND2 via AESEBU more. But eventually Luxman replaced the wonderful Ayon.
MOON 888’s magical sounding heard when fed by Transparent OPUS 20A Power cords. Initially used with
Stage2 Minotaur 15A + Voodoo 15>20A adaptor and I think more than 50% of that wonderful sound was lost.
The Minotuar worked flawlessly with previous Gryphon, so I suspect major loss when using adaptor. That necessitates
New 20A cords and OPUS were the right choice.
Toga
