The most important part
OPINIONS AHEAD! NOT A DEBATE. NO NEED TO ARGUE.
Bonus points for rationale
I’ll start
1) source: turntable/DAC/CD player 2) preamp 3) speakers 4) power supply 5) amp 6) room setup 7) cables
1) the recreation of the recording into an electric signal must be the top of the chain for me. Garbage in/garbage out
2) any issues here will be amplified. This must be perfect.
3) this might be top of some lists, it certainly is where the character is most “interpreted”
4) what we are actually hearing is power. AC power has a lot of noise. I added an Ansuz power regulator and it absolutely changed the sound stage.
5) for me, this must be as transparent and pure as possible without introducing any color or noise
6) the most difficult but critical aspect to the way the system sounds. Floor, ceiling, walls and furniture
7) hahahha. I’ll say nothing to avoid the inevitable war.
