Still use a TFS, though now changed to Win 10 and used as a Roon Core with Tidal. This is connected to the router via an Ethernet switch, to which is also connected a Lumin D2 which is the Roon end point. I have a Drobo for my stored FLAC. Sounds great.
My vinyl front end is still in storage, I’m hoping that will change in the not too distant future. I have a GL75 modified and put into a plinth by Ant of BT Designs. Also have a NOS Garrard 401 that I haven’t done anything with yet. I have a twin tier slate plinth for it. The GL75 is fitted with a Mission 774 and Benz Gullwing SLR. I got hold of a Sumiko arm a while back, which I’ve yet to try, and also just bought a Phonomac fettled Audio Technica ATP-12T which should be a good match to the SPU silver meister I also bought a while back. Phono stage is a Modwright SWP 9.0SE which I use with a Tribute SUT. Also have a Phono 2 with twin power supplies I haven’t been able to try yet.
Rest of the system consists of Bastanis OB’s, which have DSP on the bass to compensate for the baffleless design, using a Goldwood 18” woofer driven with a Behringer Inuke 3000w amp. This runs up to 200Hz, then hands over to their proprietary 12” wide range driver which is mechanically damped and runs without a crossover 200Hz-10k or so. Top end is with a compression tweeter, rolled in with a 1uf cap in series to give a simple 1st order crossover at about 10k. Mid and top are run together with a selection of amps- I have a diy Pass Class A, some little Class A monoblocks from China which I think are the JLH circuit. Currently using a Unison Research S6 valve amp- parallel single ended EL34 with about 35w/ch and I think a great sounding bit of kit.
Also have a Mytek Brooklyn+ which is only currently used for the telly to be played through the system. Overkill I admit, need to get a BNC lead so I can compare it to the internal Wolfson DACs in the Lumin.
