My first turntable
Micro Seiki Dual SX 8000 - RX 5000
I have 3 Micro Seiki turntable systems: SX-8000, RX-5000, and RX-1500VG. Each of them has its own motor transport, but due to the narrow shelf, I set up the motor transport of SX-8000 for 2 turntables. No problem in operation. Good looking when both are running at the same time.

Accuphase DG-38
Accuphase Voicing Equalizers DG-38. This somewhat unusual term was chosen to symbolize the advanced capabilities of the DG-38. While this product is a full-fledged high-precision graphic equalizer in its own right, it also incorporates a sophisticated system for automatic sound field compensation. It divides the audible frequency range into distinct bands (voices),and lets the user choose a target response curve that is then expressed (voiced)by the unit through a process of precise measurement and adjustment steps. The result is full control over frequency response characteristics at the listening position. Through creative use of the capabilities offered by the DG-38, the scope of sound reproduction in the home environment can be significantly enhanced. Get ready to experience a new dimension of music enjoyment.

This is definitely the most over the top, outrageous, extravagant collection of the world's best equipment I've ever seen. I'll bet this would be nice to sit down with a good 30 year old scotch and cuban cigar! nice work.
Proud of you bro! Your system is incredible! Would love to hear it one day! Truly and art collection especially in Saigon. Surpass any system here in the USA. Kudo
Hi CuongPham. Fantastic system!!! I am curious about your transport...which one is it? i was not aware of an Esoteric POVU. I know of the P-01 and the P-01VU upgrade. have you compared yours to any other Esoteric transports? how old is your transport. thanks for your advice...i am looking for something of super-quality that might be older and s/hand.
I am not surprised it is close to a mil. You can't buy these things in Vietnam. So it costs a lot to find them abroad. Plus the shipping cost is almost the cost of the system!
10-15-10: Ecd0317 Hi Dungn. She is not my wife because my name is Cuong Pham, I am not Cuong "Dollar". ...
Hi GiaHy , but i hopefully she is going to be your girlfriend ..... pls do is make me proud of you again hahhaaa that is so FUN . you've fantastic system i can't believed that is a true
I too am overwhelmed by what I see in your pics and by what you list as your system options. I'm not even sure how a person should respond, but I would have one overriding issue, though this is a weakness/necessity on my part ... I'd feel a bit claustrophobic in the room you seem to have ... maybe a no-no for audio, but I'd very much want to have a view of the outside world ... a large window of some configuration ... to let me relax, get lost in the music. I didn't even know Thorens made players like those you have, and I really like that you have different colors involved ... that's something I'd do, too, for the aesthetic appeal and satisfaction they offer.
Happy listening, and thanks for the pics you've posted.
Hello Cuong, First as an American I apologize for the crass remark!!! I always enjoy looking at your system, your Thorens collection, associates equipment and room are stunning!!!!!
Just when I wanted to comment on Thuchan's system, which I consider probably a bit heavy on turntables - I notice Ecd0317's system, which if anything, can match it; I would like to congratulate you all about your collections; I myself am a violinist, and even though I have a very special rig, I go crazy on violin bows, so I cannot even scold you for not using more than one turntable at the time ;-) I want to apologise for a remark from most likely an american, which probably only a european might notice, and everybody else will have overlooked it.
Hi Cuong, you are even more crazy than me - like it. I just decided to spend "my sunny months" from now on in Con Son. My wife convinced me that this is paradise. Maybe we meet in Saigon some day if you like. There are still some interesting tonearms you might like to go for - but you know for sure. all the best Thuchan
Wow! Incredible. One of the most amazing audio systems I've ever seen. Could you please give me a chance to visit your base when I'm coming to Saigon on the next and hope that I can see the red Thorens Reference at that time. Tks & Brgds!
Hi Frankpiet. SX-8000 is more detail and a little bit over play. Reference is very musical and natural sound. I love References sound.
Hi Tubetubestubes. Thank you for your coment. When I listen music I always dimmer lights. I have a photo with the room light when I listen the music. You can see it at: http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/giahy02/DSC_2748-1.jpg
