This system has been assembled over the past three years.
Recently built 3 bass traps, the 'healthy' versions, based on Jon Risch's design. These traps really did a lot for the room acoustics - I plan on building more.
Check out more photos and descriptions of my system on my website:
This is a pair of Dynaco MKiii amps that have been completely rebuilt by Craig over at nosvalves.com. Everything was replaced except for the chassis, power supply, and tube sockets. He uses his own board, and unique design. Just got them back, but am loving them.
Conrad Johnson PV-5
Never even considered upgrading this piece. In a weird way, it is the heart of my system. It belonged to a close friends father, who past away some years ago. I suppose there is the emotional attachment as well.
Oracle Audio Technologies Delphi
Sounds as nice as it looks. Using an Sumiko PT-4 tonarm and a new Sumiko Blue Point cartridge. Has spiked feet as well, resting on little sorbogel pucks.
Rega Planet
Weird little player, but it gets the job done. Plan on upgrading to the Planet 2000 soon. Bought this from an economics professor at Columbia. He had this tiny apartment, with this tiny room, with a very nice stereo.
PS Audio P-300
The entire premise of this unit is just so funny to me - but it really works! I use it daisychained between 2 Richard Gray units.
Cement blocks and Maple boards diy
Nothing says 'stereo' like a few cement blocks and large maple boards. I hate furniture, so these work great for me.
Vandersteen 2c
I love the Vandy's. People tend to fall into two camps with these - love em or hate em. I bought these out of the back of someone's trunk in Brooklyn.
Nice job on the setup. I like your component rack. It looks good and is clever. It looks like you have 4 concrete blocks. Are the wood pieces sitting freely on the blocks or have they been secured somehow? I would think it would be unstable if sitting freely. Once again "Nice Job".
