Description

rythem,pace, and dynamics.never muddy or slow.it took a long time for digital to get ok.i can still remember my 103-d and delphi front end/liquid smooth and dynamic forward sounding at the right times/musical/never fatiging.something seductive about that sound.this digital is not the same,but very smooth and nice(not tubey liquid)and really extended highs.i am fairly happy,but i think the analogue soud was a little bit better.however i never did use koetsu or other types of cartridges

    • Meitner IDAT
    this is the real one;not the other ones
    • Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 tube
    nice unit.separate power supply
    • Atma-Sphere MA-1t
    good amps.they sit on granite surface blocks.i will put the whole works in sand boxes in the future.there are no microphonics now;but why take a chance,sand is cheap.
    • illuminati,all balanced silver diamond X3
    all silver cables.not bright sounding at all
    • Kimber 8AG
    WBT ends.braided teflon coated.real simple
    • Audio Concepts Sapphire mkII
    transparent;i can't tell they are in the room.remind me of my electrostats.pace, rythem,speed,slam,EASE,but not analytical.
    • Audio Concepts Sub I
    Gots a pair o'these!they help with the drum beats
    • Black Granite Prescision 1/10000 accurate
    at 90 pounds, and 40 bucks each,i would of been stupid not to have bought a bunch of these.if by some form of magic these pieces of rock seem to stop vibration to my speakers and other componants. my humble advice though;buy the largest ones you can
    • loudspeaker stand 6-inch square tube(3/8)
    7/16 base and top plate.dull spikes on bottom,sitting on granite surface plates.elastomeric decoupling on top for monitor decoupling/no vibration here.no column ringing;but the columns will be filled with dense material(high mass)these stands weigh over 60 pounds each(empty)i am expecting a long service life from these as the welding beads and penetration is quite good.i sprayed a nice flat black;as powder coating would be a waste of good money,IMHO
    • Power cables cryoed jobbies/high current V/d+Vs
    i am not so sure about these things/they look like snakes;have expensive male plugs.apparantly,they get lots of currant to the individual componants/with out introducing other nasty things into the system.
    Hey,why take a chance.i got the cables cheap enough;and you know they look pretty cool
    • Theta Digital Data Universal II
    not bad/can also spin a laser disk.using spdif/plan to go to the att glass optical out.i think i would like a cec tl0 better
