Great sound is not too far away........

Well, it has only been four months since the last
update. There has been plenty not happening..........
I may not have fessed up in this column that early after the Suprateks arrived, I was doing some re-positioning of the kit and (gulp) managed to drop (!) one of the Malbec mono block power amps. This resulted in an intermittent fault which together with a persistent hum and the occasional power down of my power conditioner, all has not been well in the Humphries audio salon.
Good news is at hand. The Malbec has been repaired and is winging it's way back to Melbourne as we speak.
New music has arrived in the shape of 10 MFSL and DCC discs. Looking forward to some vintage Santana, Little Feat, Natalie Merchant, Allman Brothers and Miles Davis amongst others.

A Wadia iTransport iPod
dock is also on order. Should give me joyous,
continuous music via my 160GB Gen5 iPod, through the
Wadia dock, using digital into the Wadia 861SE DAC,
then through the Suprateks etc. Fun times ahead!
Still work to do to sort out the ground-loop hum and
control the room resonance issues after the
long-awaited installation of the curtains but I am
sure great sound is not too far away!
