I imagine those JMR Abscisse speakers of yours sound great  :)

I've never heard of them! I did just Google it and did some cursory reading about it and so on. It's a quality speaker for sure.

It's amazing thing about this hobby there's literally hundreds of different manufacturers for each piece of gear in the audio chain. This is one reason why I imagine that no two people have the same system.  :)

And yes, this hobby can get pricey in hurry. At one point I was using a silver plated copper cable. I realize that's not the same thing as pure silver. I like them and I can't even recall why I took them out of the system and replaced them with the speaker cable I'm using now. I still have them so I can always reinsert it.

Yeah the GAIAs weren't exactly cheap. In my case I sort of had no choice. I found that spiking the speakers actually caused a resonance problem. I needed better decoupling, so I achieved that with the GAIA footers.

Best.

Hal,

That JMR speaker was a recommendation by a member here who’s been in this hobby for many years AND has auditioned more equipment that I ever will. He also recommended my Supratek Chardonnay pre and iFi Zen streamer. All very good products. With his recommendations…. and my ears…. I’ve really made a lot of progress within a couple of years after chasing my tail and emptying my wallet for over 30 years. With the help of Dave’s UberBUSS taming the beast of AC grunge and contamination, I’m really able to evaluate how good …or bad… some of this equipment is. It’s still quite a learning process as I continue to hear new and amazing levels of sound reproduction. But it’s especially fun because of the progress I’ve been making 🤩
