My 2 channel music system

by karavite on Opinions Please

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.

Not sure if you check this thread too often but here goes..

Congrats on a well put together and affordable system.

I noticed your comments about the Scotts. I actually sold my Primaluna and replaced it with a Scott LK-48, also redone by Ryan at Hot Glass Audio. Both are fine amps but there's a certain magic with the Scott that the brighter Primaluna didn't have.

I'm wondering if you still have the Scott and are still enjoying it?

Btw, I live near Ryan and I'll be going down to his place to hear his all scratch built LK-48 in a custom chassis (all chrome with exposed tubes). Cheers.
