The recent limited edition DAC from Musical Fidelity. Incredibly positive improvement in the sound of our system.
Music Hall MMF-5
Picked this up used from a local dealer. Goldring cart body provided without a stylus. Mounted a cheap cart for time being.
Rotel RSX-1055
Bought this with the intent on trading up. Ended up getting screwed by dealer on trade in so this is it for now. Not the last word in 2 channel fidelity (my focus at this time). Good value, lots of power, just not suitable at this time. May end up in a separate A/V system.
Conrad Johnson PV-7
Bought this used on eBay. Call it a smoked ham. Seller neglected to state it was from a (heavy) smoking home. Some hack job repairs also. Going to send it in to get it modded to the 9's by the original designer of the circuit. This will stand in for the Rotel when done.
Parasound HCA-2200 mkII
Bought this used on audiogon. Excellent for the money paid ($700.00). Tons of power and authority, not as much resolution as I would like. Pales in comparison the the Sim Audio Moon W-5 I recently home auditioned.
Thiel Audio CS-2.4 w/ outriggers
I love these beauties. Finished in Morado. My first high end component, purchased after the Rotel (thus that investment mistake). The rest of our system is being built around these speakers.
Genesis Technologies Digital Lens
A stunning improvement along the lines of a new amp or preamp. Particularly helpful with lesser quality digital sources. Supposedly eliminates jitter from the transport and adds some dither. Used $450.00 on A-gon
Zu Cables Wax
15' foot single runs. Haven't compared them to anything else.
Audioquest Coral
3 sets of these in 2 meter lengths. Using them as needed. No real opinion on them yet. Picked them up on closeout @ $100.00/pr
PS Audio X-stream Statement
3 1.5 m RCA pairs. Also a 2 meter X-stream Digital cable. Good IC's, no real opinion compared to other brands.
Pioneer TX-9500
Excellent analog tuner from the 70's. Using it with a Magnum Dynalab whip antenna. Pulls in lots of stations w/ good separation.
