Description

This system/room was posted a while back (and won "System of the Week" too!), but the listening room was completely renovated a few years ago (due to a major ceiling/roof repair), so I reconfigured the layout a bit--for the better!

speakers: Harbeth C7ES-3 30th Anniversary Edition (on Resonant Woods stands)
amplifier: Pass Labs XA-30.5
preamp: McIntosh C220
phono: VPI Scout (modified) + ADS, JMW-9 tonearm, Nagaoka MP-500 cartridge
CD/SACD: Sony SCD-XA5400ES (with Modwright Truth upgrade)
DACs: modified Topping D70; Musical Fidelity TriVIsta 21 (restored)
power conditioner: Shunyata Denali 2000; Tripp-Lite IsoBar10
cables: Shunyata, AudioQuest, Pangea
room treatments: GIK, Auralex
