My first "system" started with a Sony reel to reel with a bi-directional head. My dad bought it for me and I thought it was the coolest piece of gear ever. I was 10. It still may be! Dad and I built a pair of Bose 901's. They sounded like crap but were very cool - 9 drivers in each cabinet. I'm pretty sure we broke all the cabinet building rules. Very sure.
Truth is I'm still on the "merry go round". I need a preamp. A good one. There is still an amazing amount of magic here going direct to amp!
ANyone want to tell me what model this is? I bought it used from a dealer.
Dynavector XXV MKII
Musical yet disects the music. But since it's only been recently since I was reborn into vinyl, my opinion doesn't count.
PS Audio GCPH
It's got a gain control and I don't own a preamp.
Tyler Acoustics Decade D1's
170lb floorstanders custom built by Ty. Outboard crossovers. Provision for tri-amping. Black Cherry finish. Seas's drivers, Janzten Superior Z caps, erse inductors, DH-Labs wiring. Dannie Richie crossover design. Seemless integration and transparency, detailed yet smooth and still breaking in.
Harmonic Technology Magic Link II
Robert Levi loves them. They compete with my DIY and are at least as good in balanced config than my single ended DIY'ers.
Synergistic Research Tesla
A popular choice for speaker cables with active shielding.
Synergistic Research Teslaplex
Wall outlet. Depending on system, I will see where the magic lies between this and a Furutech outlet that is at least as good.
Adona 45
Nice looking stand totally modular. Company is extremely slow to deliver. Makes you want to slit your wrists while your junk sits on the floor...
