Description

The system components have remained largely unchanged, but for the additions of a large Minus K platform for the turntable, a pair of 15" subwoofers to augment the lowest octaves and the installation of a robust electrical sub-system--powered through a Controlled Power 10kVa isolation transformer. The main change is the room--we relocated from New York to Austin, TX in 2017 and I now have a longer, narrower room that occupies most of the 2nd floor of the house. I have added a few photos reflecting updates since 2017. Bill

CD's could also be used for skeet shooting. Probably along with that $8000 Krell CD player I wasted my money on.

Digital does have it's place in the home system. It's perfect when I need to burn in some cables or a new component. I can just put the CD on repeat and leave the gear on the whole day. Otherwise I totally agree with what you said about analog.

I loved the last line about the car. That was great!

Yes please let me know. I would prefer not to use power conditioners also but my current situation requires them.

How do you like your Shunyata Hydra's? How come you did not buy the Hydra 8? I am thinking about getting the Hydras and getting rid of my Monster Power cleaner. Any opinions would be helpful.

I really like your system and your room. It looks like you use it as a home theater as well. So the screen is on the opposite wall? I think that is a very wise use of space.

P.S. I love the car.
