Description

I've trimmed the system down even more. Thanks to PC audio I don't need all the extra components. Going USB direct has been one of the largest leaps forward in sound for me. No turning back now, I listen more than ever before. I still need to upgrade my pics with the new gear.

Good listening!

    • Brines Acoustics FTA-2000s
    ML TL designed around the Fostex F200A fullrange driver. Frequency response in room from 21Hz to 20 Khz. The closest I will probably get to a true fullrange single driver. Upgrades BSC( Baffle step correction circuit). Uses One Mills resistor,One Alpha core inductor and one big Hovland cap. In the right setting they give multi ways a run for their money in dynamics. Who said single drivers don't have bass? ;-)

Hello, I see you're using usb connection. Do you want to improve on your usb? If so, order a revelation audio usb cable. I just replace my cheap usb cable with one of these revelation audio usb cables and what a difference! The cost is $369 and worth every penny. Check out my system:
