Description

This is my current real 2 channel system and I am super happy with it. The heart of it all is the 44 year old H H Scott 222(A) integrated amp I bought right here on Audiogon for $275. I love love love this thing to death and it is killing any other new amps I have heard for up to $1500. I just got the Omega speakers from Louis at Omega. They are wonderful and a great compliment to the Scott. My sources are just fine as are my interconnects, but I really need to do something about speaker cables and speaker stands. Any opinions or advice on any of this, please feel free to chime in. However, I must warn you, I have gotten a little too obsessed with this whole audio thing, but I now realize how to spend much less for much more. I am finally happy with MUSIC and this system lets me concentrate on nothing else.

5-6 years late on a reply? A new record perhaps?

Hifidop, that is a web pic, not of my amp. It doesn't look that nice, but it sounds good.

Tubby, thanks! I made many mistakes and spent $ I ended up wasting.

Plinko, I hope it all worked out for you!

System edited: Well, I have new speaker cables, new speaker stands and a few new tubes, and I could not be happier. I know I am not in the stratosphere in audiophile land, but for 3500.00 or so, I have not heard better than what I have, though I am certain the Scott amp and Omega speakers are the key here. If only I had known more, I would probably have a different CD player right now, but the Rotel is okay.
