2 weeks with scarlatti.....

[jimmyk70]

There's been 2 weeks that i have installed th 4 pieces DCS Scarlattis in my System....i have not enough words to describe what it has done in the place of the Puccini + U Clock i had....
I am really having a problem cause this week finally my analogic system arrived, a SME 20/3, with SME V tone arm, and Palo Santos Cartridge....what to listen to? Once i feel the Scarlatti is delivering a more analogic sound than a TT, if this is possible.....
Don't tell me you would love to have these problems.....please!
I am relly thinking about selling the SME.....

NO!!!!

That was a big jump -- Puccini w/clock to a 4 stack dCS Scarlatti.

I had somewhat the same impression with the 4 stack Ms. Paganini and then after the euphoria cooled down, the best of two formats depends on the recording source, mastering, etc. She does a masterful job though and can only imagine what a Scarlatti stack would provide. I know this though and have mentioned it previously, my entire CD collection is being revisited with the Misses.

I love both; but am biased on vinyl. At least I read the damn things.

What cabling are you using Jimmy? Please don't say Odin.

Best to you Jimmy.

Yes it is Bob.
I am using Valhallas on the stack, Valhallas for the pre, Valhalla IC ( phono also), IC Kuballa Elation from pre to powers, and to Speakers Kubala Emotion with Elation jumpers. i think the mix between Elation and Emotion sounds awsome and hot and Valhallas adds the finesse to the system.
I tested Wireworlds, Siltechs, and for me that was the COMBINATION!
I've never tried the Odins....it should be amazing but too expensive! Ive spenttoo much theae days, perhaps one day i should try....but not for now!
All the best!

Yesterday i listened to this systm: Soulution( pre , monos, source), Magico Q7, and MiT Oracle!!
If id had my eyes shut, i could have sweared it was my system playing....pretty much the same deepness, tone, intensity ..... Costing the double!

Glad you are happy Jimmy - you have amassed a very fine system accentuated with Sf Adias, front and center & with the finest source components available.

Best to you,

Bob

First off Jimmy, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your SME setup. The PSP is a heck of a good cartridge and IMO walks over many above its price point.

Now, onto your Vivaldi dilemma. No one can save you now. Feed us with your impressions of the ultimate digital stack playback.

Best sir,

Bob
