Description

Gentleman and ladies... This is the best I have been able to assemble over the past 24 years or so. And while I don't claim it to be even near the end all, be all, I would certainly appreciate any comments or suggestions.

I listen to classic rock and classic pop as well as jazz and jazz fusion. I love Steely Dan, the Pat Metheny Group, China Crisis, Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Miles Davis, the Band, etc.

Thanks for your review and suggestions.

    • Audio Aero Prestige SACD player and preamp
    I've used as my preamp because of the tube output, but wonder what a stand alone preamp would do for my setup and sound.
    • Parasound JC1 Monoblocks
    Impressive and always ready to rock or roll. I have been using these for a few years after problems with large tube monoblocks.
    • Wadia i170 Transport
    Used as a digital music server via my 160g iPod.
    • Avid Volvere SP
    New version of the Volvere with
    • SME 309
    Bought it because it was always seen with this table.
    • Lyra Delos
    A real bargin, IMHO, but I have not had the opportunity to hear other cartridges in this price range.
    • Transparent Audio Reference XL Valve
    50 foot balanced.
    • Audience E version
    I like them because they aren't garden hoses
    • Focal Kanta No. 2
    I'm enthralled with these speakers as they fit the room much better and outperform my previous Piega P-10's.   And they love the JC 1's.

Everything looks great, and you are well balanced and enoying the sound and thats what it's all about. As you have heard before widening the speakers would be a tremendous improvement. Happy Listening
