Past Forward

Description

My last system is listed on Audigon under the title From the Past. Over the last 10 months this shows the changes I have made to the system, and the listening room. Solid cherry LP cabinets were built in across one end of the room. A library ladder allows easy access to the top row. Also added extra deep crown mouldings and lighting above the system. I plan to add a drop down screen and projector in the near future.

Well Lapierre that is a 6 word question that is hard to answer I am going to the RMMAF next week and maybe I will have a clearer idea then.
Right now Ayre power cords and Cardas clear are two I am thinking of . Nordost is another I saw on several great sounding systems at the show last year but very high priced for me anyway.

What power cords are you considering?

Thanks Ayre has been a good choice for me. This is the best system I have done easy to use looks good to me. If ayre puts out a R grade phono stage I will likely upgrade. I am going to upgrade the power cords as well .

Well done.

Ayre has nothing but solid components.

Nice touch adding the wide crown molding.
