Description

The system is designed to reproduce realistic timbre, dynamics and detail, as well as a stong sense of presence in a medium sized room. The design goals focus on achieving both a sense of intimacy and scale, and it's doing a great job of supplying both.

    • Rega Apollo
    Very nice 1 box player. I don't miss the Audio Note gear.
    • Jaton RC7000P
    7.1 processor/preamp
    • Jaton Operetta 5140A
    5 channel LM3886-based chip amp.
    • Fab Audio Model 1
    High sensitivity cone floor-standing full range speakers
    • ACI Titan
    Two subs (one per channel) in a light oak finish that matches the maple veneer of my Fabs beautifully. They flesh out the lower octaves of the Fabs.
    • Argent Audio Pursang
    Discontinued silver interconnects
    • Argent Audio Pursang S
    Discontinued silver speaker cable
    • IsoClean 60A3
    The first power filter or conditioner I've found that improves the sound rather than screwing it up - even on a dedicated line.
    • RixRax Sonata Rack
    What a gorgeous rack! Solid, elegant, imposing yet graceful.

Paul - Congrats on finding something that surpassed the PX25 tube and all its glory. Any pictures of the new Tom Evans gear you'd like to share with us?

Paul - very, very nice! Few components, very wisely and discerningly chosen, makes for a streamlined and uncluttered system! Nice that your ACI Titons match your FAB Model 1 wood finish . . . but I think I prefer the look of my black Model 1s though :) What are you running into the Foundation Research LC-2 the CDP and DAC perhaps? How far from the front wall are the FABs as they seem really far into the room . . . Finally, what PX25 tubes are your using - some flavour of NOS-tubes perhaps?

I still would love a listen next time I'm in town - what's your beverage of choice?!
Cheers,
kevin
