I think emailist looks like nobody's fool overspending on the usual suspects.But would I spend same money on table/arm/speaks?.Me think the Graham a beauty but a tad pricey.Interested in those speaks.But now if Raven One comes with arm I might forget plans for cheaper VPI/PS GCPH or EAR rig and go Rhea expecting latter to ad a Moerch or Schoeder.Also don't think those tubes look cool.Thery look HOT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just in case anyone cares, I took the pictures with the tubes in total darkness with a long exposure, and used an led flashlight to light up the turntable.

I also replaced the Sistrum SP003 under my turntable with the correct size SP-1 I had been waiting for to come back in stock. Extremely nice upgrade with more solididity throughout the spectrum. Even pops and tick sound different after inserting this stand, like they are grounded.

Major tweek alert!

Last night I upgraded the fuses in my MA1's and H-cat to HI Fi Tuning fuses.

I am totally shocked. The increase in inner detail, purity and immediacy of female voice is stunning. There is also more subtle details poping out and improved imaging outside my speakers.

Also a substantial increase in midbass resloution, tunefulness and amplitude.

It is also as if the register of reproduction shifted down an octave or two. Hard to describe.

Next I'll try replacing all the fuse holders with cro'd Acme fuse holders and then after that using Quicksilver Gold on each of the fuses - hopefully I'll get a nice benefit)

Nice looking rig. I bet you spend endless hours listening to music.
What else do you know about your speakers? What tweeter do they use?

WHart - You can definitely hear my system if you'd like. I am in Nyack from time to time as well.

emailists August 28, 2007 21:05

I'd be interested in hearing your system at some point- I live north, near Nyack, and would return the favor. Love the look of all those bottle lit up.
Regards,

Sounds like a very interesting system. Your thoughts will be very welcome. What sort of room and what type of music are you listening to? The resonators have always grabbed my attention though I have not listened to them
