Nakamichi RX-505
Reurbished September 2019 with new belts and tire replacements. Cleaned of sticky grease by well known local tech Daniel Daigle
DCM Timewindow 1
Speakers - Replaced grille cloths with high quality superflex open cell material (similar to Spandex but much thicker). Looks excellent.
JVC SEA-80
Equalizer with pink noise generator and Spectrum analyzer with behringer ECM-8000 Calibrated mic and Mackie mini mixing board with ghost power and mic stand for placement. Used to calibrate room when required.
DBX 3bx mkII
Dynamic Range Expander - Used for analog sources mostly (also flat sounding digital)
DBX 200
Program Route Selector - used for multiple source inputs as well as making it easier to use multiple processors for varying needs.
Carver C-9
Sonic Hologram Generator - If you don't know what this is I suggest you look it up. Does not work on all program sources but the ones it does work with will simply impress the hell out of you. I re-capped, changed all tranny's and Opamps to make it better than new.
Sony CDP-C515
5 Disc Compact Disc Player - Simply because I still need to play the odd CD that friends bring over or every once in a while one of my 1000+ CD's
ASUS Computer International Republic of Gamers High End i7 based Laptop
With DAC Destroyer for digital needs
Denon MC6000 Mk2
DJ Controller used for HiRes DAC onboard to mate with my system.
That’s a pretty wild finish on the Quad & Thorens gear! I’ve always wanted to try a Quad amp, particularly the 303 or the 306. I’ve had a couple FM4 tuners and have read good things about the Quad electronics. Enjoy!
