As much fun as it is to tweak my system, I prefer to keep the front end simple. I stream from a Cambridge 851N to one of 3 amps: Mark Levinson ML-23.5, Jeff Rowland Model 5, or Line Magnetic LM 150ia. These amps drive my TSW Apogee Duetta Ultimates. I also can rotate in Acoustat Spectra 66’s, Acoustat 2+2’s, Apogee Scintillas, or Apogee Mini Grands. I can custom tailor the sound to my mood by switching amps and/or speakers.
If you are looking for anything from a basic ribbon replacement to a full on restoration with upgrades, reach out to True Sound Works in Nevada. Rich Murry will hook you up.
Thanks for the kind words. To be honest, the site was glitchy when I uploaded my components and would only accept three. Haha. However, I am currently streaming from a Cambridge 851N, through a Mark Levinson ML-9, to the Duetta Ultimates. I just added a Jeff Rowland Model 5 amp to go with the Levinson and my Line Magnetic 150ia tube amp. I will rotate them through to see what I like best. I also have an H2O Signature that needs some service that sounds good in the system. I also have Apogee Scintillas, Apogee Mini Grands, Acoustat Spectra 66’s, and Acoustat 2+2’s that get rotated in from time to time.
