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.
    • Rega Fono
    phono stage
    • Project Audio Phono Box
    phono pre
    • Rega RB-300
    Origin Encounter MK II, is an upgraded version of the classic rega arm. Upgraded wires and vta.

Hey there :-)

Your moving along nicely! I am moving so be ready for some new pics also. I got very lucky and will have the Apogee Acoustics THE GRAND here in 2 weeks, after i figure out a way to wrestle 1300lbs of speaker. I will let you know how it went :-)

How do you like the new pre?

Try a Manley Junior DAC..... :-)

I think the best you can do is to trash the old crossover in the Apogees and build new ones from Mundorf Caps and Spools! then you can raise the Apogees on a slate base and buy a Behringer DEQ2496 to flatten the responce. That will take you FAR beyond any amp and preamp upgrade. You can wait a bit for that :-)
