My next upgrade--none. Is anybody happy with their system?


30 little baby watts. I hear zero deficits.
I feel so lucky to be happy just as it is. (But it does feel a little unsettling)

Occasionally. Higher HiFi satisfaction might correlate with how successful I am at ignoring the existence of newer/better equipment. Begs the question why I continue to browse these forums :slight_smile:

Very, very nice. I recognize the Chairman of the Board but the black and white still life I do not.

The black and white still life is my son’s NYU freshman art class work.

I am content with both of my systems but enjoy learning what else is out there.

It reminds me of some of the still life paintings by Giorgio Morandi. Always fascinates me how common themes and styles intersect.

I’m very happy with my 6 to 8 watts or so that my system is all about. Never had better sound, I’m good to go going forward.

I’m happy with my system but every once in a while I treat myself to an upgrade. After all it is my favorite hobby.

Today’s update is better than any other. By a long shot. And it makes most of my gear unnecessary. The horror.

The Rabbit hole got shallower.

Or dare I say filled? :shovel:

Some cleanup required.
Goes with diving in holes.

I have been switching in and out different brand products for about 40 years until I purchased a direct stream jr dac years ago, I was amazed in the sq it brought. Then I inserted bhk preamp and was like wow another sound improvement. Since then I wanted system synergy. Currently have upgraded to pmg dac, pmg preamp, F12 sub, p12 regen. Every time I replace a component with ps audio my system sounds better and better so next will be going with pmg S200 amp! That should keep me happy for a while​:joy:

I believe you completely.
But I wonder. I think making Active versions of the wonderful PS Audio speakers is a total no-brainer.
Imagine FR 30 speakers that require no other gear. Mmmmmmmm!
Just power, and maybe wired and/or wireless network connections. Maestro built in. MMMMMMMMMMMM!

I have been thinking the same thing since Paul’s new videos about the active stand mounts. My question would be since he talked about integration with its own streamer does that mean you will not be able use your own disc transport and just be able to stream since it’s a wireless design. I guess we will have to wait and see, I’m very interested.:blush:

Nope. It has a cool hardware interface that comes with it and you simply plug the output of your pre via XLR or RCA into the interface and use it like you would a normal system. Bing, badda, boom! It’s easy.

Wow! Can not wait to see and hear them. I’m going to sit tight then. I love where PS Audio is heading Paul amazing stuff. Are we still looking at mid summer for the upgraded remote? I’m all over that​:blush:

I was about to discard my Ps Stellar phono, since my power surge system is a Fosi Box 5 + the integrated Fosi upgraded Op upgraded with Burson!

Sound fun the Fosi, beat a lot of preamp on the market require a 24 hours to get his best, but

after a week, the Hummmm, something is missing

But back the Stellar on my tube amp, mmmmm, not good, not good!

ok let’s wait another 24 hours, much better, than 48 hours!

Wow the Stellar had stellar result! The roof gone, the wall gone, only music and sound stage! on my old Electrovoice + my 300B tube amp! + Stellar!

The stellar phono is hard to beat, but need 48 hours! to gave you the top musical result!

Also everything was plugged in a UPS battery Backup, but after I switched to Ps Quintet power bar for the Gizmo (stream, CD, tuner, etc) and for amplifier the high current 15 ultimate outlet, it has amazing result! I hear all the detail that create ambiance! and all my crack and pop on my vinyl, that I created over the year and bring back my souvenir!

this PS stellar phono, just amazing and with the Ps power management, I have added, Wow

my next upgrade, will be probably, if I could find one affordable! would be a power management P3, but for now, I was lucky to found those back in time power management from Ps

and the Fosi, well on the shelf, the Fosi amp blew out (I will have to proceed a lot of test before they will try to help me with warranty!), but the Fosi phono still great (even the Peerless guy did a test on it, but he didn’t know the PS Audio product for sure!), but not has good as the Stellar phono!

Very glad with my new Stellar phono, that have amazing result!

I look forward to ear the Active speaker for Ps, but I am not in a rush, still have plenty of Space

Definitively a Keeper the PS Stellar Phono!

by the way anyone has the link of the new active speaker from PS

Maybe closer to end of summer when we can get all the machining done.
