and all I can say is wow!

I've managed to build a very nice little budget system here... don't get me wrong, I'm no audio newbie - just out of the stereo scene for awhile. I've owned mostly tubed gear - Citation, Dyna, Eico, etc.

Anyways listening to the combination of low priced Pioneer DAC, the Bolder Smart DIO directly fed into a pair of refurbed Heath UA-1 monoblocs. Speakers are a pair of kitted Adire HE10.1s on sand filled stands. All wire is Canare from clearcables.com. No preamp, since the Heaths have their own volume control.

Sound? Very very dynamic for 10" drivers. Great pace and they really 'hold the tune'. This little system really tells the truth of the recording. Makes me feel like a recording engineer listening to the final mixdown (I used to do live PA). Check out the AC/DC remasters and wow!
