My goal is for my system to reproduce music as close to possible to "being there"...within some budget constraints. My listening tastes are somewhat eclectic, and it is a must that my system sound good with all types of music. It also must ROCK-OUT on demand!
Accurate, detailed, organic sounding speaker in a beautiful cherry finish. Just a gem of a speaker!
Unison Research Unico Integrated
80 watt hybrid integrated amp with 2 12AU7 tubes in the output stage. Replaced stock caps with Hovland Musicaps. Replaced stock Philips tubes with JJ tubes from Slovak Rep. Improvement is NOT subtle.
Arcam 73T
A GREAT budget front end. Vibrapods under feet.
Harman Kardon TU-610
Old school tuner.
Synergistic Research Kaleidoscope Phase 2 X2
1-meter SR Kaleidoscope Phase 2 X2 (RCA) active interconnects w/MPC.
Analysis Plus Oval 9
8 ft. run of Analysis Oval 9 shotgun bi-wire speaker cables terminated with bananas.
Nordost Shiva
Tried Synergistic, PS Audio & Zu before finding the Nordost.
Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler
Great cable for amplifiers. Plugged straight into wall outlet.
Monster HTPS-7000
Great power conditioner with many useful isolation, protection and conditioning features. Only drawback is that it limits current from amp, so I plug the amp directly into wall.
