Been a long time audiophile dreamer.
Started with Sansui pre & power amps with Bose 501s and held for over 20 years as I read reviews and fora and dreamt of ‘the system’. Finally have been able to put things together over the past couple of years:
- Wywires power cables - Lumin D2 streamer/dac - Pass Labs XP12 pre-amp - Pass Labs X250.8 power amp - Kimber KS1130 xlr interconnects - Kimber KS 3035 speaker cables - Sonus Faber Olympica III speakers.
Wide range of music streamed through Tidal. Enjoy the music!

Tony from AudioEnz had introduced me to Sonus Faber. I visited his home in Hamilton to hear his SF speakers. Would be good to catch up if he’s here!

Hi aspar,
Welcome to the asylum!
Getting there? Holly heck, Pass Labs and Sonus Faber would be end game as far as I'm concerned.
We like pictures around here. 😉

Thanks, Harvey. Audiophiles always find an itch to scratch!
How does one upload pics?

True that, I think my posts are proof enough.
I browse the forum on Tapatalk, uploading photos is just like any other Android app. The desktop guys use Imgur for uploading photos which I've not got the hang of. There is a thread somewhere explaining but Owen or someone else might come through with some sage words of wisdom.

yep - 'top shelf' system indeed! always impressed by SFs' mid-range - they've nailed how it's so critical. Seems like you've scratched all your itches pretty well too

Seems the image has come through well. Thanks for the comments.
The SF Olympica III have excellent mid-range but does great bass as well. They have a sensitivity of 90dB at 4 ohms so need good amplifier power to drive them. The Pass X250.8 does 250 watts @ 8 ohms and doubles that @ 4 ohms, with the first 25 watts in Class A mode giving plenty of headroom.
