CES 2015: Acapella / Audio Federation room setup

The CES 2015: Acapella / Audio Federation room setup consists of a pair of Acapella Cellini speakers with red horns [standard $40,600, high version $56K using today’s historical (9-year) low Euro to USD conversion rate] and Acapella LaMusika integrated amplifier (starting at $91K. As shown: $102K)

So here we are, Sunday, room 30-225 in the Venetian Tower. Putting the HRS SXR rack in place ($5K, $13,680 fully loaded with M3x Isolation Bases). Leveling it [Neli likes doing this. Mike does not :-)]. Centering it. [And deciding whether to center it within the room, center it w/r to the center of the window, or some compromise, like centered between the speakers which may not be equidistant between the walls given that gigantico hutch there on the right side. Making sure the rack is far enough from the wall for the large Acapella LaMusika amp’s power cords have some space.

Anybody else notice the new carpet this year? Whoo Hoo! :-/

Added the Audio Note DAC 5 Signature ($98,250) up on the HRS Nimbus/Coupler footers (about $350 for a set of 3) and HRS M3X Isolation Base (about $2,800 in this 19×21 inch configuration).

Added the Audio Note CDT-Five Transport ($54,000).

Initial configuration is a Nordost Odin power cord ($11K) on the transport, a NVS Sound Silver Inspire power cord ($5430) on the DAC, an Audio Note ‘Brown’ PALLAS interconnect ($2428) between the two acting as a digital cable, and Acapella interconnect and speaker cables ($varies) on the amp and speakers.
