this current set up is the result of 8 years of swapping out components and i have nver been happier. right now i have no desire to "upgrade" anything. not that i don't think there's better but for the money spent, i think this is hard to beat. odd thing is that all along i always had tube pre/power amp. somehow i stumbled onto this ss stuff and am digging it. i'm a sucker for good soundstaging and where i have ended up shows that.
got this a few years back and it has paid its dues. made many a cd. i love it as a cd player even w/o the copying capabilities. its also nice to have the two seperate drives so i can load two discs and plop my lazy ass down and not have to get up for twice as long.
Rega Planar 2
upgraded the motor. great 'table.
Rega RB-250
just had the incognito cable installed. its great.
Denon DL-160
just got this along w/ my incognito upgrade. best cartridge i have owned. great soundstage and very forgiving of surface noise. sorry the photo is bad.
NAD 1020
really great preamp considering i paid next to nothing for it. the phono stage makes it a real steal.
AMC 2100
my budy got this amp and it was absolutely horrid out of the box. just shrill and harsh- really unlistenable. then a few years later- he loaned it to me when my st-70 was being repaired and since it had broke in it was amazing. i liked it so much i traded him a pair of asl wave 8's for it.
Acoustic Energy aegis 3
really great speakers- soundstage very well and have surprisingly deep bass.
I believe you have one of the most expensive diffusors behind your speakers...... Tell us how many CD's.... Gee I knew my room was short of acoustic treatments but not that behind!!!!
