Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

I've certainly said this before, but this time (a first in YEARS) it feels like I may actually mean it. In my main rig, I don't think I want to change anything.

After years of upgrades, missteps, debt, and obsession... it feels as if I'm finally ready to stand pat. I've made a conscious choice not to follow every RSS feed anymore, so as to shut down the access to death by overthinking. I contribute to much fewer forums, of course this being one of the ones I've retained. I unsubscribed from YouTube channels, weekly email digests, and turned off notifications on apps.

Basically, I'm no longer as distracted and preoccupied. Could my system sound better? Of course. Does it need to sound different? No. Honestly, it comes close to taking my breath away, as both sonics and room treatments have now made it really fucking enjoyable.

Thank you to everyone that's helped along my journey. I haven't arrived to my final destination necessarily, but definitely an oasis where I'll take an extended stay and protect myself from the unhealthy habits I'd developed a long the way.

Now, back to the music.

Looking at your line-up, I can see how you'd feel that way. Congrats! 🍻
 
Silly question- got the khozmo today. Seems like either they forgot the power cord or it just didn’t come with one for the power supply for the remote. Can I use any power cable I have lying around from another device or do I need to use something specific?

Mine had an external power supply with a special cable?
 
Oh, I understand what you mean now. The cable from the supply unit should be the standard one.
Yea. I have the 5 pin cable to connect the power supply to the unit but no cable to plug the power supply into the wall. I have a Pangea cable that was on my old amp so will swap that into my insight probably and then I can use the power cable from my insight on the khozmo power supply

I’m trying to remember if mine came with one!
 
Not the best pic, but the khozmo looks sweet. Only got a chance to spin some of Byrd - Kofi but it sounded excellent paired with the fosi monoblocks

Nice one Mike!

I have a feeling that this Hattor (sister brand to Khozmo) preamp has a place in my future...

 
Gratz! Looks sweet, just out of curiosity what configuration did you order?
I emailed Arek my source components and asked for his recommendation. He recommended this:


64 steps shunt AMRG +vishay with remote. Said If you need more details and transparency you can choose Zfoil+AMRT.

Ooh that’s slick! Didn’t realize they had a sister brand. Really impressed with the build quality on the khozmo and excited to get to listening to it more over the next week!

Funnily enough I found it out when I added the khozmo Facebook group after @kvetcha got his and saw Hattor on there too! Their one probably suits what I want out of a preamp more but I really doubt that you can go wrong with either!
