Thumb5's system

[thumb5]

Long overdue...but here's my set-up based on a Devialet 400.

Sources are:

• Wilson Benesch Full Circle
  
• Sonos ZP90 (aka Connect), with Rick Cullen/Wyred4Sound modification
  
• AIR (Ethernet) from Qobuz Hi-Fi on a MacBook Pro 15.4" Retina running OS X Yosemite
  

Speakers:

• Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage
  
• Sonus Faber Gravis B1
  

The 400's pre-out is configured as a mono sub output. It goes via a DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core which implements some room correction below about 150 Hz to drive the Gravis. This also means that the sub works very well tucked unobtrusively into a corner.

The main speaker output is high-pass filtered with a corner frequency of 65 Hz. The Gravis has a built-in low-pass filter configured for the same corner frequency (sadly it can't be disabled entirely).

I use a Vertex AQ Taga mains filter/distribution block, and Silver Roraima power cables. These were chosen in my last system and seem to work well with the Devialets. They're hidden inside the large-ish MDF cube you can see in one of the photos. (There used to be lots of other ugly stuff in there, including a PS Audio PPP, but it's now largely empty.)

The speaker cables are Townshend Isolda DCT.

The rack is from Isoblue.

(PS: sorry for the poor-quality photos, will update with better ones at some point.)
