| 4season's Single Ended Triodes galore System | |
| IP Address: 204.131.179.1 | Last Update: September 10, 2007 at 14:42:24 |
| Amplifier: | Welborne Laurel IIX 300b SET monoblocks, Welborne Star Chief 45 SET monoblocks |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | If I ever get around to completing them, a Pass Bride of Zen line state and Pearl phono. Advent 300 receiver (used as preamp) completely recapped. Welborne Labs Reveille Passive control center converted to Electra-Print TVC. |
| Speakers: | North Creek Music Okara. Not a high-efficiency speaker, but the impedence is SET-friendly, it's well suited for small rooms, and they're in a very small room. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | NAD 502 (modified with choke-filtered B+ and B- power supplies-two chokes for each op amp) |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Linn LP12 w/Linn Ittok LVII arm modified with internal damping and Audio Note silver wire. |
| Other Source(s): | McIntosh MR71 FM tuner. Old electrolytic coupling caps replaced with Solen poly caps. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | econo Cardas stuff for interconnects |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Welborne Labs Gatekeeper Libra modular pine shelving unit |
| Tweaks: | Speaker stands are filled with granite sand. |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 8 x 8 x 8 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | No dedicated treatments, but the added mass of furniture like floor-to-ceiling shelving units seems to do wonders. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Lately, lots of hip hop/dance/electronica, but also jazz, classical, etc. No soft jazzy audiophile crap. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Since moving into SETs, I don't care too much about the more tweaky/neurotic parts of the hobby. |
| System Strengths: | Tastes organic |
| System Weaknesses: | It's kind of cluttery what with the monoblock amps, separate preamp, etc. Someday I might want to reduce it down to a stereo integrated amp + music server. |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | Sharp LC-32GP1U, 32" 1080p LCD |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | (maybe) Denon AVR-3808CI receiver |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | Undecided |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Toshiba HD-A20 for HD DVD Sony Playstation 3 for Blu-Ray |
| Comments on HT System: | High-def is fun if you don't take it too seriously. Suffers from the same separate-component clutter as the 2-channel system. |
