Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio Physic

Description

This is my main system, which is constantly evolvig. I tend to swap in or out a component every couple of months or so. Latest change on the horizon will be speakers as I'm evolving to more of a home theatre capable system.

Components Toggle details

- Supratek Syrah
Tube two-box preamp with seperate power supply. Includes MC phono stage.
- Teres 255
Turntable
- Electrohome Marquee 8500 HT
CRT Rules! This beauty comes in custom case which makes it more room friendly.

Granite and steel stand. I originally had my tt atop, but had to move it to lowest level to ensure no vibration.

Linear Tracking Tonearm

Isolation stand - I'm using this one for the Preamp, although it's probably overkill. I have two of them.

Isolation Platforms for Speakes - I found these speaker platforms particulary effective. I couldnt' live without them.

Phono cable

Now have one of these under each monoblock - was surprised by the performance improvement.

Using one of these under my preamp and digital rig - used to have them under speakers, but won't fit under my new JM Lab Diva Utopia Be
- Acoustic Zen Absolute
1M Reference Interconnects

another question:
how do you find the soundstaging compared to the virgos?
i demod a pair of virgos , and loved them, but i am doubtful on the driving capability of my tube technology unisis, as it is rated at 6-8 ohms, whereas the virgos are 4 ohm nominal.
However, the unisis drove a pair of martin logan arius very well, without strain, even at high volumes.
