My Reference System & Listening Bias

My Reference System includes:

  • Lite Audio DAC 68
  • Pacific Valve Modified DAC 60
  • Lite Audio CD-15 CD Player
  • XianSheng D-2020A Kt88 Integrated Amplifier
  • Pacific Valve Modified LS27 Preamp
  • Lite Audio T62 Amp
  • Acoustat Spectra 11
  • Infinity 360
  • Aurum Cantas
  • Various Interconnects

I bias toward the midrange. I favor detail and spatial dimension over tonal balance. So, I favor equipment that gets the midrange right over a tight low end. I am biased toward tube preamps over tube amps. I like hybrid amps. I do not favor a bright top end. The top end for me has to be very smooth otherwise I do not like what I am listening to.
