The European PerspectiveIs that a Klyne preamp feeding the Cary Monos? posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Martin Logan HeavenOverall, very nice. Throwing down an area rug might help tame some of the brightness, although there are sometimes mitigating factors involved (like spouse approval). Also, I happen to play guitar ... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
The hampster wheel...Glad to see that you power cleanup oddyssey ended successfully. I noticed your comments on your analog system - does the Slee allow you to tweak loading for the Benz H2? I have found that their &qu... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
Deja Vu all over again!It looks like you've optimized your speaker choice for the listening environment pretty well. I always cringe when seeing huge monolithic speakers crammed into small spaces. Well done! posted about 18 years ago | View comment | |
new dimensionNice system, but I too have a question about the maple blocks on top of the c-j preamp - is it still able to dissipate heat appropriately? I guess if you're not experiencing any anomalies, it's ok,... posted about 18 years ago | View comment | |

pure magicThat's a great system. I once owned a Planet 2000 / CAV-50 system, driving different speakers. I kick myself for getting rid of them now. A truly engaging sound. I always wondered when C-J was goin... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
sbank's Austin City Within LimitsSpencer, I dig the new room! I wish I had been able to check it out last weekend. I especially like the way you have integrated acoustical treatments without making the room look like a basement re... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Wilson, VTL systemVery nice set up. Wilson and VTL seem to have special synergy. One question about that door behind the left Sophia - is that a closet or something with regular thrutraffic? I'd hate to see someone ... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
enjoy musicNice Darth Vader! Great media collection, you definitely have your priorities right. That little Pioneer is a great value, probably one of the best in audio today. I have one in my home theater and... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
arrival at shangri-laBeautiful speakers, not to mention the room! I've never seen a James full range speaker. They are certainly distinctive. Enjoy! posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Brian's system!We went to a cabin on a lake in Northeastern Connecticut - and it was more like the white hot north last week. Anyway, I took possession of the kW on Friday, so it is obviously still burning in, bu... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Brian's system!Thanks. I purchased the kW-500. I plan on keeping the Sim for now - it is indeed quite nice and obviates the need, in my opinion, to go all hi-rez, at least for now. My new amp should arrive when I... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Brian's system!Brian, Beautiful system! Is that the kW SACD player in your rack? I recently heard the kW 500 - I can only imagine the synergy you must have the B&Ws. Has the kW 500 changed any during break-in... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Hmmmm.... What Next?Those are terrific amplifiers, but without upgrading your speakers you won't be getting anywhere near their full potential. Also I don't know how well Maggies work with the single ended Cary monobl... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Yellow means go faster........Nice system. Looks like you;ve put some real thought into components and the room. Did you roll your own room treatments? I am finally happy with my gear, so I;m thinking its finally time to tackle... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
WAVAC Tri-amp systemAny info on the source feeding this monstrosity? I see an Accuphase transport, but no DAC. I wonder how this affects the local power grid when powered up? posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |
sbank's Austin City Within LimitsSpencer, thanks again for letting me drop by and hear the system. Very educational. The CAT-Berning-Merlin combo is outrageously good. Well done! posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |
new dimensionThat looks like a great sounding system. I have also had success with maple platforms. Maple just works for some reason. Happy listening! posted about 20 years ago | View comment |
