Kimber Hero and Rti10/12/a7

quicksilvergts

Hey all, I decided to go a little different route in my upgrade path.
I am going to start from my cables/ electronics(miscellaneous ) then to the Rti10/12/a7-Csi5/a6

I currently use the Audioquest Evergreens for IC. And was considering the Heros or PBJ.
Ultimately they will the IC to a pair of Rti10/12/a7 towers in the end ( that, I will NOT change my mind)

I do realize it is preference But since I purchased my 1200II from reviews and experience from people like you. And was my best purchase to date (along with SVS lol)

I felt I would Not be steered wrong lol

I figure I will try to keep it mostly Kimber since I have my front stage with 4TC and jumpers using SBANS and the postmaster 33.

I somewhat recall someone recommending
hero or Symphony if could find a pair.

My ultimate 2015 goal
-Parasound 2205
-Pioneer bdp-51 (or equivalent)
-Polk Csi5 or Csia6
-Polk Rti10/12 or Rtia7
-Something that can play high res music from a flash drive since my usb does not work grrr.
-Different rack or stand.
-maybe another SVS bash PB12 if have money and able to locate one.

Any advice, suggestions or Experience is ALWAYS greatly appreciated!!

Cheers!

My advice....keep the Parasound 1200 instead of spending money on the 2205. Nix the pioneer BDP and go straight for the oppo. The 105 may be out of your budget so get the next one down, which you can find easy in the 400 buck range. Plus that will handle your usb issue. Keep the system all Kimber hero's, and when you can add the kimber 8tc's to the front speakers.

Roger that.
i just figured with the 2205 I would be set on amplification all around for a long time and even if i decide to change speakers I am set 4/6/8 ohms. have been looking into a Emotiva UMC-1/2 pre but will most likely keep trucking my trusty SC1222 without USB lol . My listening habits 70/30 movies/music

The 103? Even those are a bit pricey right now, but I suppose I have 10 months lol.
is there maybe a temporary setup I could look into to? like a Fiio the get a IC 3.5mm- RCA? I know it sounds silly but I am so jealous of my buddies SC1222 usb as it sounds so much better. also the OPPO would hit 3 birds with one stone, CD/BD/ USB

HERO'S it is! Then 8TC.
I picked PFB's Pangea Cables 14se and AC9 so I should be good on those cables.

THANKS for your advice, I should have just PMed you lol, you are always on top of it when I post a question (THANKS) .

By the way, I did sell the Parasound 1205 to Daboyz. he is a happy customer. but other things came up and those funds had to go elsewhere grrr.

Cheers!

The oppo 103 isn't pricey if you buy used....seen 'em for 400 bucks all day long. You got a good deal on all those power cables too from PFB. Happy hunting and good luck to you.

What's wrong with the usb on your sc1222?

quicksilvergts

It does not read 7 different flasdrives lol. I
have tried different formats, used skateboard flash drives to my big 64gb corsair.
Every one lights up but the 1222 does not read anything.

I was on the phone with Pioneer reinstalling restetting unit everything. He a lot of drives use to much power. But it was strange the all the drives light up and not one being seen. Then he just said can take it to my nearest Pioneer service center.
I still buy random cheapies with hope of the
1222 will see it lol.
