Description

The system as a whole is smooth, detailed, and really gets the musical point across. Extension in both directions could be improved, but the midrange is so glorious that I hardly care. Imaging is decent, but could be more pinpoint. My guess is that more careful positioning could improve my lot here. Soundstaging is good. Next upgrade will be a new cartridge. Suggestions welcome!

    • Red Wine Audio iMod
    Modified 60GB iPod. Amp and volume control are bypassed. Sound is routed from the internal Wolfson DAC through Black Gate caps, and the headphone jack becomes an inredibly clean line out. AMAZING sound.
    • Nottingham Analog Horizon SE
    Ultra quiet, with extremely low powered motor. Very heavy platter as well.
    • Rega RB-300
    Needs no introduction!
    • Grado Gold
    Great midrange...

Wonderful looking system. Have you relocated your sweetspot since your last post. How about a small sub to extend the bass. I'm listening to a pair of Soliloquy Sat 5s now and can't imagine not using a sub. Although the SR-15s go much deeper, the sub just adds that little extra.
My main reason for posting to your system is I just paid for, but haven't recvd. a pair of SR-15s. Really looking forward to getting them and hooking them up. They'll run with a Velodyne SPL-800II.
