I have had most of my equipment for several years. Bought the Mesa new. Just bought the Scoutmaster from a great seller on Audiogon. I know my pieces don't match up so good, but the sound is pretty magical......sometimes. One thing is for sure. I will build another speaker. It is the most frustrating thing I know of, and the most rewarding thing. The real trick seems to be getting everything to sound reasonably good on "all" recordings, and then really good on the music I really appreciate. I have an idea for a speaker that will produce better, tighter bass, but this black speaker with Scanspeak Revelator Tweeter, Scanspeak carbon fiber midrange, and Eton woofer, is the best I have done, in 15 years of trying. (This look with crossovers all over the floor is normal....and yes....my friends do laugh at me.)
What, Pawlowski6132? You like my mess? I do not change equipment often, so it is difficult for me to make comparisons. I can say this, I've had the Scoutmaster for 3 weeks now, and for the first time, vinyl sounds as good as CDs. I never even think about replacing the Wadia. I have Nordost Red Dawn speaker cable.....my opinion of it is that it is very detailed, which is good if the speakers can deal with it. Synergistic Looking Glass from the VPI to phono stage. Other cables are Discovery balanced.....thinking I need to upgrade, but can't decide what to. Any suggestions?
