Components Toggle details

    • Environmental Potentials EP-2050
    • Porterhouse Audio 20 amp Porter Port
    nice outlet
    • Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Line Filter
    First DC Blocker to actually clean up most of my transformer hum and didn't kill system dynamics.
    • wiremold power strip L10320
    nice minimalist quality power strips
    • wood component cabinet forget the model number
    decently made but was not packaged very well and arrived slightly damaged. had it repaired and I reinforced it with brackets and additional wood screws. also customized it for rear access and so I could put my turntable wall mount rack through the back that actually does not touch the cabinet but looks integrated.
    • Volex 17504 10 B1 power cords
    • DIY wall mount bracket for turntable
    Homemade wall mount for turntable. Made form old steel speaker stands and comes through the back of my customized wood component cabinet.
    • Nitty Gritty 2.0 Record Cleaner
    Walnut. Use their Pure 2 fluid.
    • Rega TTPSU
    black, separate from TT wall mount shelf.
    • Rega RP6
    black, using factory black belt (white belt made the table run too fast) - upgraded factory RCAs to Furutech 126(g), strongly recommended
    • Groovetracer RP6 Reference Subplatter
    Recommend this upgrade very very much. Great flywheel, perpetual motion rhythm, very quiet background and tracks dead on at 33 1/3 and 45. Using factory black belt (white belt made the table run too fast)
    • Herbie Mat Way Excellent II-2mm
    Beat my thinner leather double sided suede mat by a noticeable difference. More and more refined bass, more space between the notes (better attack and decay) and more presence in a deeper and wider sound stage.
    • Magic Eraser original
    just a slice between the platter and lowered stylus goes a long way!
    • Audio-Technica AT-33PTG/II 0.3mV MC
    waiting for it to break in and still sounds great
    • Salience / Jasmine LP2.0 mkII
    black, great 2 box phono preamp that beat out my previous Pro-ject tube phono box II with upgraded tube and also beat a Vincent Pho-8 two box phono stage.
    • Oppo Digital BDP-103
    used for BluRay, CD and DVD. also receives HDMI signal from my Comcast cable box.
    • Audio Refinement (YBA) Complete tuner
    black
    • Mogami 2549 with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA
    for all sources before Audio Refinement preamp
    • Audio Refinement (YBA) Pre-5
    black
    • Mogami 2549 with Furutech 126(g)
    between Audio Refinement preamp and amp
    • Audio Refinement (YBA) Multi-5 amp
    black
    • Mogami speaker cable 2921 setup as biwire
    Great cable
    • Proac Studio 148
    great speakers in mahogany
    • Soundocity SEV9 outriggers
    black, with spikes under the ProAc Studio 148

Hi! I have a question about your Mogami IC's. I've made some IC's myself in the past and am about to make some with 2549 as well.
I also have KLEI Copper Harmony and Furutech FP-126 (that I want to desolder from a previous build)
A few questions:
1) Are there any subjective sonic differences between the KLEI and Furutech?
2) Are your 2549's terminated in pseudo-balanced configuration?
3) Did you try any other Mogami? Specifically, the 2497 which is their unbalanced hi-fi coax cable?
Thanks! 
P.S I live in Redmond as well :)
