Kenny's System

Hi Kenny,Your system just keeps getting better and better! So I'm very interested in your TW 300b amps and the Aristotles. I think my next move when I can save up the $$$ will b...

No changes to my system in the last year or so. Trying to force myself to stop the urge to constantly upgrade and just listen to what I have...I did cave a few months ago though and bough...

Hi Paul,I don't have the Eufrodites but I was able to upgrade to the newer version of the Aristoltes with the better drivers etc. My living room is just too small for the Eufrod...

Added a Pure Sound P10 MM phono and T10 MC transformer as an inexpensive way to have a dedicated phono stage for the Garrard 301. The P10 is run through my Tron Ultimate line stage. Very ...

I feel the same way about the TW/Zanden mat. The improvement was only positive for sonics with the only potential downside being the extreme care needed when removing LPs off the grippy surface les...

Just added a Denon 103R for fun thinking I would spare the excessive hours on my prized $$$ cartridges. What a pleasant surprise! Ok, it's not the last word in resolution but it has a wonderful...

Added a vintage Garrard 301 to the system just for fun. Raw heavy birch ply plinth holds a bone stock 301 with 60hz pulley. My Ortofon RMG 309 and Silver Meister MK2 SPU are riding shotgun. Ini...

Yes, Jeff tells me the BN platter is huge. I'm shocked that I can still get significant improvements from the turntable at this level but even those two small tweaks brought it up quite noticeably.

I'm sure you will be very happy with anything Shun Mook. I've been enjoying the record clamp so I'm curious about the AC cords. Let us know what you think of them.

Hi Kenny,It's been a while since I've posted here and a few system changes as well since then. I'm using the M7000 on my Furman conditioner because its the best PC in my system and I though...

Hi Paul,The Shun Mook is incredible. I still can't believe that a piece of tuned wood does this much for the sound. It's not going anywhere! The three motor unit was another great u...

System edited: Just got the famous Shun Mook LP clamp. Absolutely amazing... People who mock/dismiss it have obviously never heard what it does for the music. Awesome.

System edited: Just mounted a new addition to the analog rotation - a vintage Fidelity Research FR64S copper wired tonearm. I must say it sounds really good with the SPUs! Really cool arm.

Agear,Yes, almost everything came from Jeff at Highwater Sound. First the Tron preamp, then the TW and recently the BP amp. After hearing his system a few years back I knew that I had found...

Hi Loki,The Windfeld and Black are both excellent cartridges (I own both). I'm loving the Silver Meister MKII SPU as a great all around cartridge and that would pair beautifully with the RS...

Loki,I am quite sure you will be thrilled with the Tron/BP 300B/Aristotles/TW combination! What cartridges are you planning to pair with the Ortofon arm? I'm assuming you are talking about ...

Hi Charles,I have heard both the Tron and BP in the same system and prefer the Tron. It is unbelievably powerful and transparent. That said, the BP is one heck of a fine amp for a fraction ...

Loki,The BP 300B is a beautiful sounding amp. Plenty of power and bass impact with all of the 300B midrange attributes. I have about 200 hours on it now and still using the stock Electrohar...

Great system. I've been considering adding a FR64s to compliment my Ortofon RMG 309 for my SPUs. How would you describe the sound of the Silver Meister paired with the FR64s?

What an incredible system you have. I am curious about the many SPU cartridges you own. How does the Meister Silver compare to the others?

Hi Pcosta,I agree it would be much better to have a dedicated phono stage. The 2nd arm and cartridge are an Ortofon RMG 309 with the Silver Meister MKII SPU. I have heard both the AE85 and ...
