The system is built along with the minimalistic philosophies regarding aesthetics, assimilation within surrounding nature and environment with enough rough edges to tweak in order to waste a lot of time and money.
I got 2 Gain and 1 Source cords. First Gain connects the Furutech ETP60 to the Audio Magic Stealth power distributors. Second Gain cord connects Stealth to Gaincard. The Source cord connects ETP60 to CD player.

Parasound CDP-2000
Parasound CDP-2000 Ultra
It is a CEC transport similar to the CEC 5100Z and a UltraAnalog DAC section using PCM-1702 burrbrown chips.
However, I am using this as a transport only.

Carolina Audio JTM
This is a Jordan/Leijlic design as far as I know which uses the Jorden JX92 aluminum 4 inch drivers. Ronnie, the sole proprietor at Carolina Audio, custom makes these speakers according to the original designs with some of his own modifications.

Used in three ways: CD mat, wrapped around AC cord, and fitted inside Eichmann Bulletplugs. Beat that Jack Bybee!
What part of the world do you live in? I would love to hear your system. I live in Cincinnati and visit SC often. Are you close? I may try to stop by Carolina Audio next time I'm in the neighborhood.
That is one of the oddest systems I've seen on A-gon!!! I Like It!!!
I've become very curious about the Scott Nixon DAC and the Carolina JTM's. If possible, can you answer these questions?
1. Do the JTMs produce enough bass to live without a sub? 2. Does the low output and inverted-phase of the Scott Nixon DAC present any problems for your system? Did you invert the phase of your speakers to compensate for the inverted phase of the DAC?
I think your system is very much like the system I've been thinking about putting together. Can you describe some of its attributes for us?
