Description

Just recently aquired some ASC Tube Traps;--this has been the weakest link in the chain.

Michael Green RoomTune racks. Plan on getting or looking into SRA bases for components. Very smooth, yet dynamic, to my ears, at least.

Currently (5/2010) working with Rives Audio on a dedicated room.

    Two channel amp that is an EXCELLENT value
    • Totem Acoustics Forest
    Mahogany finish. Bottoms filled with #9 Remmington lead-shot.
    • Muse Model 18 bal
    Walnut finish. Balanced ins/outs; this is now sitting on top of a ASC 22" Sub-Trap.

    These are connected to CD player, Amp, and subwoofer.
    • PS Audio P-600
    Upgraded with Multi-Wave II.
    • PS Audio Ultimate Outlet
    I have a high-current 20 amp UO on my sub.
    • Blcak Diamond Racing Cones MK IV and III
    Have these on CD, Amp, and P600
    • PAD Burn-in CD-R
    Burn-in disk I use occasionally.
    • PS Audio Power Port
    I installed two of these into the wall. My P600 is plugged into it with the PSAudio UO plugged into the other.
    • Acoustic Science Corp Round 20
    Old picture of room before the additional Tubes;
    • Denon DVD-5900
    DVD player; sometimes used to play HDCD discs since the Wadia cannot play them; however, the Wadia, though being dated, still sounds extremely good.
    • ASC Tube Traps Round 20
    I have a variety of Tube Traps: (4) 20" X 48"; (8) 16" X 48"; (5) 16" X 39"; (7) 9" Studio; (1) 22" Sub Trap; I'm still experimenting with placement around the room; so far, the change is dramatic! You can hear SO much more of what's on the recording--both good and bad. Good recordings are now great! Want to add some more to the ceiling eventually....
    • JENA Labs Symphony XLR
    (2) 2m length; I have 1 run from the Wadia 21 to the Muse 18, then 1 run to the Marsh A400s

Another "yes" vote on the beaks, and I do not even have Totem brand speakers.
I usually use the brief 3 minute Densen CD, only rarely finding time to use the much longer timed PAD burn-in CD-R.
Both seem to enable a more natural, and clarified sonic picture. I have never been able to decide if the more frequent use of a 3 minute tweek can equal the effect of a rarely used 72 minute tweak ( if I am remembering the times correctly.}
Enjoy your excellent system. That magnificent sub-woofer suggests you do not live in an apartment house.
