Components Toggle details

    • Conrad Johnson PV-12AL
    CJ PV-12 line stage modified by Bob Backert at RHB SoundDezign: both the main circuit and the power supply have been replaced with Mr. Backert's own designs.
    • Marantz SA-11s1
    Love it.
    • Odyssey Audio Kismet Monoblocks
    Actually I have the Kismet monoblock boards, inside of the Stratos Extreme cases.  I used to have Stratos Extremes and upgraded the internals to the Kismet.
    • Art Audio Vinyl 1
    Yup, the Vinyl One. Big and punchy.
    • Roksan Xerxes X
    It's black.
    • Roksan Tabriz
    This tonearm seems a little crude to me. Who knows.
    • Dynavector DV-XX2 mkII
    In the words of Yellow, "oh yeah"
    • Dynavector 10-X4 mkII
    Actually it's the 10x-5. But it's been re-tipped by Soundsmith. Very speedy now. However the bass warmth has gone away.
    • Usher Audio Mini dancer 2
    With the diamond (DMD) tweeters.
    Love 'em.  True, I might need more midrange resolution.  But for dynamics, deep bass that's never blobby or vague, glorious highs -- these speakers are a serious steal.

Hukkfinn,

I'm considering the RHB Sound Dezign road. Would you be available to chat directly about your experience?

Thanks,

I think you got a big bang sitting there, this is nice!
How is the PV12 makes it after modifications? I have a PV12 as well with built in phono, can't decide whether I should go with SoundDesign of stick with CJ to change the capacitors to teflon. Or just go to PV15 and then do mods. Best Regards

Nice system. I suspect the CJ Odyssey combo is magic. I've used CJ is the past as well. Outstanding value for money there. Congrats. Post PICS!
