My system was born from an HT system which was my main preoccupation for years until 2020 when I purchased a Rega P2 to spin old vinyl discovered in the garage during a Covid cleaning session. Suffice it to say it grew from there. The Rega is now with Groovetracer subplatter and Delrin platter with a RP 330 arm, with external LPS; Ortofon 2M Black stylus out to a Rega MM Phono. Traded DefTech 9080 theater speakers for 1.7i Maggies.. PrimaLuna Evo 300 preamp. Underneath: Schitt Gumby MB, Bluesound Node 2i with PD Creative LPS, ROTEL 14 CDP with Ifi SPDIF Purifier 2 to the Schitt Gumby, Parasound A21+ and Synergistic Resesrch Powercell 10SE. Also 2 SR energizers plugged into the Powercell as well as a Eau Harmonizer plugged into the wall. Cables: Synergistic Research, GR research, Audioquest. There are a pair of 10” subs, MartinLogan Dynamo 400s. Theater: Denon 4500h, DefTech 9060 center and DefTech surrounds. TV: LG C1 77” Oled.
Purchased recently these used and fairly well cared-for.
Luxman AS-55
A heavy-duty switch recommended by a A’goner. Works like a charm to switch between the Parasound abd the 2 mono tube amps (for when I want quiet sound).
ANTICABLES Zero Boxes
Trying these out with a 60 day return policy to see if they can help the Quicksilvers deliver a bit more gut to the Maggies.
Origin Live Onyx Ref MK ll
New arm for the Rega, replacing the RB300.
Magnepan 17i
Modified about a year ago with GR-Reseach crossover kit.
Love your system, it looks well planned out and purpose-driven as to your musical taste, even down to the current flow. I also own and enjoy many of the types I'm seeing in your photos. I bet vocal jazz is particularly incredible sounding on those Maggies combined with the tube preamp. I haven't taken the plunge yet and gone with a pair of electrostatics despite their rave reviews. But would love to hear them some day. Thanks for posting this great outfit!
