(more later - need to take some additional pictures)

if you find yourself in / around the city of chicago and would like to come by and beat on the V's - drop me a line - i'd be happy to set aside some time for interested parties to have a listen.

    • Legacy Audio V
    Big and bad-ass
    • Legacy Audio Marquis HD
    Holy hell.... this thing is HUUUUGE. Find a dealer - check it out... you'll be hardpressed to find a better center channel anywhere. period.
    • Parasound JC-1
    4 of these drive the V's
    • Parasound Halo A51
    Lots of power for hungry applications. The a51 will eventually turn my 5.1 system into a 7.1 rig with its remaining channels.
    • Parasound JC-2
    Since the C1 went away - i needed something clean for 2 channel. I probably don't need to say much more about this piece. It's built like a tank, runs hot, and sounds fantastic.
    • PS Audio PerfectWave DAC
    should probably upgrade this too at some point...
    • Legacy Audio Wavelet
    Dac / Room Correction - Oem'ed by Bohmer Audio.
    • Integra DTC 9.8
    Probably should update this someday.
    • M&K MX-350 thx
    Two of these babies vertically stacked really brings out the low-end in a 5.1 system. Drywall tape repair is a constant reality.
    • M&K SS-150
    Not a bad little surround tripole. For now these litle guys will stay in my system until legacy makes a dipole/tripole that doesn't have to be mounted on my walls.
    • Samsung HL-T7288W
    yes - i need a new tv.
    • Nvidia Shield
    it streams stuff...
    • Belkin PureAV pf60
    Pure crap - don't bother - avoid their power products at all costs. This unit is currently serving as nothing more than a glorified power strip. Originally purchased for noise in the lines caused by light dimmers, this unit ended up introducing more problems to video playback thn i originally had.
    • Dedicated 20 Amp Lines - w/ Hubbell Hospital Grade Outlets
    Ran some 10awg romex from an isolated sub-pannel to two hospital grade hubbell outlets. Results were quite nice.
    • Homebrew XLR - Canare L-4E6S w/ Neutrik NC3FXX
    For less than 70 dollars retail, this produced 6 custom xlr cables. Much better than off the shelf guitar-center livewire :). Eventually i'll play with some more exotic wire/connectors. For now, i'm quite happy with the situation.
    • Speltz Anticables
    Excellent bang for buck. Pain in the ass to work with. Still highly recommended

I read your comments about the Belkin, looks like you weren't too pleased with how it worked with video.

Do you have and opinion about how it worked with your audio gear?

Have you found a power conditioner that works well with a HD television?

How does the belkin work in your application with all that gear. My feeling is that the PureAV is an incredible bargain, but haven't tried with that big an amp (or maybe you have the amp(s) hooked directly to the wall?)
