The best that $2000 will buy. Trust me, I own it. Best for jazz, classical and any kind of vocals. For use in a small room (less than 12 x 14). Brings a lots of detail with excellent transparency. Excellent deep, crisp and fast bass. Not meant to be played extremely loud. Why buy Planet 2000, when the original sounds so good and is so cheap used. The MMG uses the same technology as the 1.6 QR but by adding the REL sub you get true sub bass that the 1.6 QR is missing. For those of you that have not heard the TDS AT, it is the "non tweakers" tweak. This is not some subjective mumbo jumbo, it is real thing. You will experience tremendous detail. Finally, buy quality cable and keep the length as short as you can. It can make a difference, but never spend more on cable then you spend on CDs in an average three month period. It ain't worth it, go buy some more music.
I'm considering building a second system using all used components including Cary mono's (maybe Rocket 88's), Alon mk11's, Cary pre (unsure which - feel free to advise), Nordost Red Dawn interconnects, an as yet undecided cd player (preferably tube), and as yet unnamed speaker cables. Can y'all give me some feedback on this? I'm relatively new to audiophilia, and could use advise and feedback. I'm estimating a total cost of 5k, which is my absolute limit, although I'd love to find a way to spend less.
