well this is the system i have managed to put together over the last couple years on a serious budget and after trading a couple components.I am pretty happy overall but still feel i can get it much better i think my next component will be a bettet preamp and some better interconnects then turntable upgrades but not for a while the system overall sounds pretty good w well recorded vinyl
but unbearable w/poorer recordings
also the system can be fatiging at times.i will post better pics soon
Analogfreeek, The ONLY preamp that I'd get would be the Supratek Champaign or Chenin. These are the best preamps you can buy for the money that compare with others that cost $10,000 and up. I just added one to my system and Whoooa!,what a difference. It made my Rotel sound retarded. You can buy it directly from Supratek manufacturer in Perth, Australia for $2900, or try to find a used one on line, likely on AudiogoN. I just got mine on AudiogoN. I have a pair of Magneplanar 1.6 speakers and they sound MUCH better than ever. The sound stage is simply astonishing--detailed, crisp, precise, deep and wide. Just amazing!
Nice system, 2 tables is very cool. I wonder where the fatigue is coming from, Vandersteen are not known for that issue.....new pre is probably gonna help.
