Description

Recently I have added a second McIntosh MT 10 Turntable and I await the delivery of a McIntosh MEN 220 Room Correction unit. Additionally, I have added two PS Audio Power Plant Premiers to control and clean up the outlet electricity. I have also added a number of Stax headphones to my collection as well.

    • Adona Corporation Signature Model 45VM4
    The Model 35VM4 is part of the Adona's Signature Series. I use one stand for all of my headphone equipment and the other stand is for my external equipment.

This photo was taken before the arrival of my Adona amp stands.

That is one hell of a system and must give the neighbors a moment of pause to say the least! I have always loved how an all-McIntosh system stack looks. It's good to see another owner of Adona stands; I have their previous generation going back a few years and it always astonishes me how Paul builds such value into his offerings together with rock solid build quality and musical performance. Enjoy!

Very nice system. Very nice TV and speakers too. I'll bet your system rocks!How do you like the MAC 220 equalizer? Did it make a big difference? I'm thinking of purchasing something like that.

Nice collection of Stax headphones.

Which are your favs?

Also like the warm, comfortable McIntosh aesthetics!

How do the CVs hold up to the rest? I have not heard any CVs in quite a while.

Thanks much for sharing your system info. I bet no BigMC system is complete without the MEN220. I read that it also has a two way crossover for biamp capability. Very cool stuff!! Tho, It seems to me to be complicated to set up.

System edited: This is my systm as of July 22011. I am a McIntosh and Stax freak. This is system is total overkill for a Manhattan apartment. I must say that I never have had a complaint from my neighbors and I don't play my music at loud volumes. The Vegas sound just fine to me as well. I just added a second McIntosh Mt 10 Turntable and am awaiting delivery of a McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction Unit. Additionally I added a number of Stax Headphones not seen in the headphone picture. Thank you for looking at my system.

Thanks Glenfihi- Sorry it took so long to get back to you in response. Added some more stuff as well. Ungraded power cords, speaker cables and bought two PS Audio Power Plant Premiers. Enjjoy

Fun in the city. You system is just too much fun. Using a dedicated Mac component for headphones, says a lot about how good it it. Yes, the amps have to be overkill, but you are so right, the sound being great at low or high volume with the mighty McIntosh. Great system enjoyed reading the comments and viewing the pictures. Happy listening in the city.

System edited: My Adona Corporation Reference Amp Stands just arrived today. It took a couple of hours to set them up and then I need two helpers to lift the amps onto the amp stands. They really look great.

System edited: My system is almost complete. I would like to add better speaker cables and better balanced inter connectors between my amps and preamp. That is all that is left to do over the next year or two.

I have an Adona Zero GX4 rack, and I really like it. They are great racks, and the price is fair.

System edited: Just a little bit clearer than the previous pictures- I picked up four Cerwin Vega CMX 212s that you can slightly see in this new photo. My dog Buddy also is in the photo.

System edited: Recently purchased four Cerwin Vega CMX 212s. Each speaker has two electrically power 12 inch subwoofers. Cerwin Vega always give more clear and tight bass than any other speaker. If you like good bass, then Cerwin Vega far exceeds much of the high end speaker market for a fraction of the price.
