Ozzie's Downstairs He Man Rig System
IP Address: 166.128.140.7	Last Update: August 01, 2010 at 16:58:21
Amplifier:	Parasound HCA2200II for the woofers. Plinius SA-50III for the mids. Pass Aleph 30 for the tweeters.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	Home brew Krell killer followed by a Marchand three way active crossover. A Legacy Steradian and Anti-Mode 8033 smooths out the low freqs nicely.
Speakers:	Active Tri amped Legacy Whispers and Legacy Xtreme Bass sub.
Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Allen Wright Uber Clocked VSE 6 + Sony SCD-777ES.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	Home brew cabless created from a 300 foot spool of Kimber and WBT connectors.
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	Power Conditioner? Why? If the power supply of your equipment is properly designed, AC cables and conditioners would be moot. Anyone ever heard of a pi network?
Tweaks:	3 choice vodka martinis, no vermouth, shaken briskly. After the first martini the amps are darn near there.
Room Size (LxWxH):	24 x 16 x 9
Room Comments/Treatments:	The use of controlled directivity loudspeakers and electronic LF room correction greatly minimizes room effects.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, some rock. Chicks singing.
System Goals/Comments:	I am darn nearly there. My model is a jazz club here in Dallas with very little amplification. The recent addition of an outboard bit clock put my system over the top.
System Strengths:	I have attempted to bring back musicians that have deceased long ago. Luckily they do not seem to have access to my liquor stash.
System Weaknesses:	Some might say no tubes. Have at it, knock yourself out and go for them.
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector:	My surround rig is at the chick's crib. 52 inch Sony.
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	100 watt per channel Pioneer integrated surround amp.
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	Spica TC-50 (mains), Rad Shack ribbon (center and surrounds) and an Arnie Nudell 10 inch active sub.
Sources (DVD/VCR):	Pioneer 5 channel DVD player.
Comments on HT System:	Don't laugh. This little rig blends better than many overpriced uber rigs that I have heard in some stores.
