Just installed three dedicated lines, 20 amp individual breakers, 12 gauge wire with independent grounds
Maple rack, with three(3) full z-slabs and two (2) half each z-pods for the other two shelves.This is my rock and foundation for all that is to come. Had bought a Z 4/R from this shop and they allowed me to trade it in for the 5/R. So I got 660.43 credit and ended up paying only $650.00. What was even nicer was I had paid only $400.00 for the 4/R, which I still have but that is in another system.
- Zoethecus amp stand large amp stand
27 X 22 large amp stand can handle 100+ pounds easily, maple to match the rack. Z slab to rest amp on. Bought this new for $350.00 my stereo shop was moving to a new location and was getting rid of almost anything that needed to be moved.
- zoethecus large amp stand
Saw a used zoethecus amp stand to match my rack and other amp stand in maple so I bought it. Will post new pictures soon
- Zoethecus large amp stand Black
Black large amp stand, matches in size the maple one but is black. Bought it off Audiogon to get a match, first one I found that was the same size. Black slab for the amp. If there is a difference in the sound between the two I cannot hear it.
Record Cleaning Machine Anyone into vinyl needs one of these machines by somebody, this is the one I wound up with. What it does is take records that I hesitate to play and make them into ones I am reluctant not to listen to.
Powerline Conditioner plus surge and spike protection in one unit. The owner lives about 5 miles or so away from me and delivered since it was not out of his way. I lucked out in that he had one that someone traded in for a newer model and I bought it for $1200.00 complete with warranty.
20 amp power cord that connects the Sound Application power conditioner and protector to the wall outlet. Bought it on an auction.
Low output moving coil cartridge.
0.5mV output, 10-40khz +/- 1.5db.
Like it with my Sonographe SG-3 like it even better here.
Came with the turntable.
Just bought this for $4500.00 and a tube tester. That included the arm, the SME 10, and the Sumiko Celebration cartridge. It comes from the very first year of production per Sumiko, was curious as to its age. A very nice improvement over the good Songraphe SG-3.
- plastic dust cover for turntable clear
this came with the SME 10 and covers it perfectly plus it has a cut out for phono cable/poower cord
- Conrad-Johnson powercord for the Premier 16LSII
power cord to SME 10 power supply Like it better here
Came with the turntable, not as thrilled with it as the Hovland MusicGroove2 but that one would have to be reterminated and this one did not.
Phono PreAmp Has separate power supply connected via an umbilical cord. Has a stereo and mono switch as well as a play or mute switch. All tube. Not particularly flexible but the sound won me over.
Decided to do one manufacturer throughout.
- Conrad Johnson Premier 16LSII
Bought this new with warranty for $5500.00 due to my stereo shop moving to a new location. Bought it and never looked back. As C-J says, it just sounds right.
- Pranawire Kensho power cord
power cord goes from my preamp to Sound Application.
1.5 meter interconnect. Works well between preamp and amp.
Directly heated triode monoblocks, 36 watts of SET bliss. Original Audio Note Transformers could not be happier. Bought these from a fellow Audiogoner for $8,000 for the pair and think I did very well indeed. Supposedly modified by Israel Blume
- Pranawire Kensho power cord
Connect the Wyetech's to the Sound Application.
4meters of wonderful wire. The guy at the Cable Company company told me to keep this as they weren't making any more of it. Bought it from an Audiogoner for $1700.00
All in black, found them on Audiogon about a half hour drive south of me so finally had a chance to hear them and that sold me. Vaughn Loudspeakers had them on Audiogon for $6,995.00 so felt it was a great buy and am very happy.
SACD/CD player, ten years on still no problems, everything works fine. Paid $2910.00 including tax.
1 meter cables they work well for me.
