Added the 'Audio Armour' 3KVA Static Voltage Stabiliser from NKB Technocrats Pvt.Ltd. specifically for the LED tv + hifi system

Very interesting
Just went through the webpage
It uses dsp to regulate voltage so noise free and hopefully reacts absolutely quickly

After several months of search I finally upgraded my amp to SoulNote A1, this is my first Class A/B amp, I had a peachtree NOVA which is a Class D amp but it has stopped working few months back and couldn't service it. The SoulNote was way beyond my initial budget but I had stretched to go for it after listening to several other amps over the last few months. I haven't set it up completely yet as I am looking to add a power stabilizer before I start using the amp regularly.

Picked up a Boyuusang M34 with El34 tubes yesterday from a forum member. Very well made and surprisingly drives the KEFs with absolute ease.

HI, how is your experience with Orchid, read few positive reviews about this DAC recently. How did you get them? Do they ship to India?

How much does CPT make a difference to the sound vs streamer 320kbps?

I am using Qobuz for streaming, and honestly, the sound quality is excellent. When I compare it with Spotify’s 320kbps streams, the difference is noticeable — especially in terms of depth and fullness. The sound from Qobuz feels more rounded and natural, quite close to what I hear from my CD Transport (CDT).

That said, the reason I went for a CDT was to make use of my growing CD collection. When I compare the same album on Qobuz and CD, the CD can still edge out slightly in terms of dynamics and presence, but it's really close.

In short, both CDT and high-res streaming like Qobuz sound fantastic — and I’m happy to have both options in my setup.

Added the Douk Audio speaker / amp selector to the setup allowing me to use one set of speakers with 2 amps- the tube amp and the Marantz M1
