Components Toggle details

    • Teres I built it!
    A combination of the 245/340 I guess. Custom cocobolo & macassar ebony plinth. Madura sub-base. 2 arm boards, 1 ebony & 1 cocobolo. Lead shot loaded everywhere. Now with the battery option.
    • Origin Live OL1
    Rewired, with stainless mod. No TWL mod yet, but it's coming.
    • Denon DL 103R
    Got it from Japan
    • TWL & Paul HiFi Mod & VTF Tweak
    $1.32 worth of fishing weigts and some blue tack. Holy sh&^p s&%t Batman, AMAZING. Read the threadis in the Analog forum.
    • Supratek Syrah
    Well, I finally got a deal on one. Jarrah wood & copper. No more stepups. Everything everybody says about this pre is true. And finding out that Mick made this one a little special makes it even better!
    • Audio Note Soro SE Phono
    With phono stage.
    • Audio Note AZ3
    Level O, I think. A little below the rest of the system, but 94db efficient. And, they do sound VERY good in my room. Probably about to be replaced with ANJ/SPe.
    • Legacy Audio Harmony
    In/on wall. Very good sounding speakers in custom built (by me) cherry cabinets. My fronts in the A/V system. Once in a while I hook these up to this rig when I need a little more oomph.
    • Audio Note AN/L
    Their best copper litz cable. Very natural sounding.
    • Starsound Audiopoints
    Now I have them under everything.
    • Zu Cable Mother
    Adam makes great products. Highly recommended.
    • Custom silver Mine
    I made them in a litz configuration. I think they work well.
    • Audio Note CD-2
    A very good CD rig. I had to kist it, 'cause it gives the wife a chance to play stereo. She is NOT ALLOWED to touch the TT.
    • VPI 16.5
    A must have. Galen Catol Audio has the best price and service out there!
    • Pete Riggle Audio VTAF
    Nifty VTA adjuster. Uses a large wheel that you can adjust while playing an lp. Solid brass.
    • Z-Squared Copperhead
    For those who love the depth and warmth of copper - Z Squared raises the bar! We have copper and plenty of it! -An 18 gauge twisted strand center conductor of 99.999% oxygen free copper -Gas injected polyethylene dialectric insulation -Braided copper mesh shielding -Clear polyethylene outer shield

I like the Harmonys. But, I don't like them when using tubes. The sound very good when you have enough power. They do sound very good for an in/on wall.

Slipknot1, just noticed your post, oops! I've been wanting to go to an all Audio Note system for some time now. I thought that the Supratek was a keeper, and defended it against the lower level AN pres. I was wrong. The new M3 phono I heard is amazing! Tranformer coupling really makes a big difference. So, I'm going to build a set of AN/E speakers first, then decide on building or buying a pre.

Off topic, funny thing I see today; the guy I sold the SyrTese to for $1900 has it for sale for $2500. Interesting!

System edited: Just a couple of changes. I got rid of the SyrTese, the Wave 8's, and the Belles 150. It's time to move toward an all Audio Note system. First off is building a pair of AN/E speakers.

System edited: Moved from opinions please to Ever Evolving. Right now, not much is going to change. But, I know as I come off of the summer slow season (lack of funds) this could change rapidly! So, here it is.

System edited: Using the Microgroove now. I really like the sound. The Microgoove and the K&K may be on the way out. I found a great deal on a Supratek Syrah, and I think I'm going to have to buy it. I'll keep ya posted!
