Description

This system has been assembled over the past three years.

Recently built 3 bass traps, the 'healthy' versions, based on Jon Risch's design. These traps really did a lot for the room acoustics - I plan on building more.

    • Dynaco Mark IIIa
    This is a pair of Dynaco MKiii amps that have been completely rebuilt by Craig over at nosvalves.com. Everything was replaced except for the chassis, power supply, and tube sockets. He uses his own board, and unique design. Just got them back, but am loving them.
    • Conrad Johnson PV-5
    Never even considered upgrading this piece. In a weird way, it is the heart of my system. It belonged to a close friends father, who past away some years ago. I suppose there is the emotional attachment as well.
    • Oracle Audio Technologies Delphi
    Sounds as nice as it looks. Using an Sumiko PT-4 tonarm and a new Sumiko Blue Point cartridge. Has spiked feet as well, resting on little sorbogel pucks.
    • Rega Planet
    Weird little player, but it gets the job done. Plan on upgrading to the Planet 2000 soon. Bought this from an economics professor at Columbia. He had this tiny apartment, with this tiny room, with a very nice stereo.
    • PS Audio P-300
    The entire premise of this unit is just so funny to me - but it really works! I use it daisychained between 2 Richard Gray units.
    • Cement blocks and Maple boards diy
    Nothing says 'stereo' like a few cement blocks and large maple boards. I hate furniture, so these work great for me.
    • Vandersteen 2c
    I love the Vandy's. People tend to fall into two camps with these - love em or hate em. I bought these out of the back of someone's trunk in Brooklyn.

Hi Dan,

Just stumbled onto your system, and have to say it looks great! I have since acquired a PV-5 myself, and love the sound, especially the phono! Gotta love the blocks and wood boards...its just so basic to assembling a neat and good sounding system...Congrats and enjoy!....Ken
