Description

This system brings lots of enjoyment. My room is 20 feet by 30 feet with 12 to 18 foot ceiling. This is a very open and live sound not much damping to the system.

Come now Charles. I jest.

Jeff, you have gear that transcends all the crap we own. You have to oblige our voyeuristic demands....

"Agear I promise this will be done with in the next couple of weeks."

Ouch. Cough up those pics! Or al least have Charlesdad drop by to capture a few polaroids....

Jeff, keep us posted on your experience with the Romulus. Aesthetix is a very fine company. It seems like a lot of meticulous engineering goes into their products...

Don't get me wrong the digital setup I have now took lots of patience and hard work to achieve this great sound. I had to address vibration control, the right digital cable, power cords, and NOS tubes. I kid you not without the above the sound of the Lampi was thin, mettalic, and I did not want to listen very long.

Well isn't that the gospel truth (when it comes to digital). If more philes realized that, there would be less equipment roulette. Do you have any interest in the Tripoint Troy given Charles' findings?

The 7 should be interesting, but I am sure it will require the same due diligence. The nice thing about the latest version of the 7 is that you have the option of switching between a 45 and 2A3. I am unsure which way it will go. Most of the online verbiage regarding those tubes concerns amps, so who knows? I will start with the EML 45s and roll from there....

Jeff, who does the Lampi stack up to the table?

agear

Sweet. I was not trying to be a jerk. I just wanted to ogle your Absolare, Lampi, Rockports, and the rest of the fabulous stuff you have cobbled together....

agear

Jeff, update your system list and overview pics.
