Components Toggle details

    • VPI Industries Scout 1.1
    2016 Scout 1.1
    Upgrades include:
    Soundsmith Counter Intuitive 
    Soundsmith EZ Mount cartridge hardware
    • Nagaoka MP200
    Moving Iron phono cartridge.
    • Shure M97xE
    Moving Magnet phono cartridge.
    I've outfitted this cartridge with the LPGear ViVid Line stylus. It's a line-contact typography and is a bargain for what this does to the M97xE. 
    The cartridge on it's own has a low pass roll off that is not pleasing. The LPGear stylus opens it up immensely.
    • iFi iDSD Nano LE
    Primary DAC.
    PCM: 44.1 to 384kHz/16-32bit
    DSD: 2.8, 3.1, 5.6 and 6.2MHz/1bit
    DXD: 352.8, 384kHz/24bit
    • Schiit Mani
    Primary phono preamp.
    • Schiit Sys
    Passive preamplifier and source switcher.
    • Emotiva MiniX A-100
    Primary amplifier. Class A/B.
    50 wpc @ 8ohms
    80 wpc @ 4ohms

    This amp is extremely clean and sounds amazing for the price.
    • ELAC UB-5
    Primary speakers. 4 ohms.
    • Blue Jeans Cable LC-1
    Primary interconnects. I use these throughout the entire system in very short runs. Extremely low capacitance at 12.2 pF/ft. I also use these as my phono cable from the Scout 1.1 to the phono preamp.
    • Blue Jeans Cable BJC Ten White
    Primary speaker cables.
    Belden 5000UE cable. 10AWG.
    These are terminated with ultrasonically-welded, 25 degree, 8.7mm spades on the speaker end and locking bananas at the amp.
    • Pangea Audio Vulcan TT
    Main system rack with vinyl storage at bottom shelf. Planning to add another component shelf to this rack and that's very easy to do with it's modular design.
    • Shure SE215
    IEMs
    • Fostex T60RP
    Planar magnetic headphones.
    • Fostex T50RP
    Planar magnetic headphones
    • Schiit Magni 3
