Description

Dears.
I´m music lover, avid Lp collector and audio fan. Living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Have experienced during last 30 years different kind of equipments (basically vintage) and now I have settled one vintage speaker system for analog reproduction and one modern speaker for digital source. Basically electronics are same, with same Line Amp, I´m using two different power amps for two different speakers.
My music room is around 8ms x 10ms, the celling is -fortunately- very high, around 4.5ms. The listerning room is connected with my Lp collection. I estimate to have around 20,000 Lps. Thanks for looking my system.

New improvement.
Have added Stillpoint Ultra FIve on Oracle MK V. Incredibly the original screw is same size for Stillpoint. Just replaced the original feet by Stillpoints. The improve up is amazing. Much more air and extension for high frequency.

Dear Mark.
Many many tks for your kind word and congratulation for your fabulous and meticulous equipment. It really will sound great!
Tks also for your invitation, I will try to catch some opportunity to visit. Your knowledge about Argentina food, music and culture are really surprising. And frankly speaking -with shame- I have to confess you that I ignored completely about Aznar recording of MA Record. I will check and I will try to know more about MA Recording. Tks again and if you have any plan to visit Argentina please let me know. I´d like to invite to my home to enjoy music and also good food and Malbec!!

Dear Russ. Many tks for your comment and I agree absolutly with you.
I moved to my actual house 2 yeras ago and I  considered to rebuild my living room eliminating the round stairs of right side. The left speaker is on the corner but the right speaker is located not at the corner and this is problem specially when cello and double bass are located at right side in many many records.
To built a extra plywood will be a solution, I made plywood cabinet for Vitavox CN-191. Many tks and congratulation for your system.

Dear All. Many thanks for all of your comments.
During many years I was vintage fan, have collected many many 300B SE Amps, original WE-300A/B valves, etc... I have used my Tannoy with several 300B during last 30 years, but suddenly when I experienced Allnic was game changer... Allnic conserve all valve virtud with modern performance requests. The power amp Allnic KR-1610SE is really really maravelous. The combination with Tannoy Silver Units are unique. 
The Phono Amp Allnic 5000DHT is another example. With RIAA variation control I can enjoy much much more all vintage records. 
Having collected around vintage 20,000 pcs of Lps mainly classical each record can be adjusted exactly for Tannoy or for Wilson Alexia.
Alexia was a lateste up grade with Krell Evo One. Big big difference and mega improve up from Sasha I.
Tks again.
