About to spin those big black cds.

Description

Do to life, and it's many turns in the road, i have had my gear and music in a closet packed in boxes for nearly 2 years.

It was a risk that we took to move the career along and to purchase our first house.

We are in the house, still in boxes. But the top two floors are almost complete. The first floor is a war zone, but the "man cave" is up, and last night I unpacked my boxes and had music.

Long way to go, but with a new home and a new room this is going to be a great time. Now thinking about adding vinyl to the mix, time to enjoy the music again.

Cheers

    • Townshend Audio Rock Deluxe
    This is a very cool table, will look forward to spinning those big black cd's.
    • Chapman Audio Systems T-8
    A great find, sent in to have the most recent upgrades. Chapman the man is even better than the gear.
    • Odyssey Audio Stratos Mono Plus ( Custom)
    I had a guy thow me a bone so to speak and made me a deal that I could not otherwise afford. These are brand new in the box and should handle the Apogees with authority. These have 240k capacitance and more power than you can imagine. This is upgraded caps and power supply. It will match the Stratos Plus.
    • Audio Mirror T-61
    Tubed Line stage preap.
    • Scott Nixon Non OS DacKit
    This was a great pick up for $110 from Phil Hagerman at Nomad Audio.
    • PS Audio PS-6.1
    Basic pre with phono
    • Adcom GFA-535 mkII
    The only way I can afford a Nelson Pass designed amp. Keep it for a second system.

    phono stage
    • Project Audio Phono Box
    phono pre
    • Rega RB-300

Brownsanandy,
What!? Now statos mono's?! I thought you were the poor, hard up kind of guy, now you're bustin' out with mono amps! You sly dog, you...

When's your room going to be done, system set up again?

Man, you're really gonna miss the Chapmans when you set up the Apogees... ;) Tee hee hee
Just getting inside your head, my friend.

Imp_571,
If you obtained a pair of Chapman T-7's for the measily amount of $375 you should be jailed! Because you just stole an incredible speaker from some poor fool who doesn't know what they are! Now, if those were the pair floating around that had some damage to their framing and were repaired, then you merely got an incredible sounding speaker at a great price! The parts alone in them are worth Waay more than that!

Greetings,
You betcha, I'm urging Andy to go fetch himself some T-7's! He's gonna be a happy boy when he gets them installed into his system!

Chad, you should hear these things! I really struggled to sell my last pair of ET's, but I'm enjoying the Chapmans at the moment. Truth is, someday I may get another set of ET's, but for now, this is excellent listening. Very few box speakers could take me away from planars, but the T-7's did!

If Andy gets his deal on the T-7's he's after, it'll be the find of the decade!

Blessings!
