Not the highest end system, but can definitely rock out - as well as present pretty convincing soundstage, vocals, imaging and instruments. Configuration subject to change as whims and budget allow.
Yeah, everything is hooked up thru the C41 and is fed to the two amps. The only 2 items in the picture that aren't hooked up are the Parasound P5 and the AVA Comparator ABX Switch on the bottom of the middle rack.
Couldn't agree more re: Paul at Bottlehead. A nice guy and outstanding service. He fixed a prior tech's mistakes for free, as long as I promised never to have my amp serviced by the prior guy again!
Thanks guys, it's a labor of love. Somedays I consider selling most of it off and starting over without the analog stuff, but I'm just not ready. I still enjoy it too much still - even though I'll be cleaning all the tape transports later today. Just gotta do it.
Oldschool - you're right the L100s and McIntosh is a great match, that MC2600 you had is a beast!
toicat - thanks you - sitting there listening is my Happy Place!
Thanks! I know what you mean about the Nak decks, I have a few more upstairs in my office system. I'm just starting to go through and upgrade the power cords on my source components and preamp. Ever evolving.
