Western Mass Mid-FiWell put together system on a budget, I'll bet it doesn't sound like a budget system, though. I like the fact your speakers are well out into the room, many speaker systems/rooms work well that way... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |
BBC sound with tubes for Analog blissYes, we do have the same phono stage. I have installed an upgraded power supply that Modwright made for this unit. As I recall, it was in the range of around $450, and made a big positive change. R... posted almost 9 years ago | View comment | |

Thrill HillArthur, thanks for the invitation. I haven't been out of state for a while now, (Puget Sound in Washington). I just don't get around much anymore. Hmm, that was a pretty good song,no? posted about 9 years ago | View comment | |
Thrill HillArthur, you have put together what may be the perfect audio system (at least for me and you, that is). Just top drawer in every respect. Enjoy.Regards,Dan posted about 9 years ago | View comment | |
