Audio Research has a Crystal Cable reference pc and connects with preamp with Argento Serenity balanced cables. Avid has a Crystal Cable Piccolo pc and power amp has a XLO LE 10 Mk II pc.

Oh forgot speakers which use Yter or Argento Serenity. Right now Yter is being used.

A slight re-arrangement of the gear on the rack.

It went the way of the dodo. It was a very nice set but with the Sooloos I decided to get the matching meridian 808.3 so that I could make use of the ID40 card. Digital is now 99.9999% sooloos sourced
