| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Marantz CD-67Se |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Sota Sapphire II w/ Sumiko Premier MMT tonearm. MM Cart: Ortofon 540 mkII MC Cart: Monster Cable Alpha One |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Kimber Cable 4VS speaker cable. MIT Terminator 6 IC. Tonearm DIN Cable made by Monster cable in the 80s. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Blues, Rock and Roll, but vinyl playback has recently opened me up to new genres with the availability and affordability of used vinyl. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Short term goal is to find a good tube preamp with phono stage, or possibly a Mcintosh MX110 Tuner-preamp for a reasonable price in good shape, so I can get some tubes going in my system. Also looking for a better CD player than the Marantz, as the addition of Triangle Ittoh XS speakers is showing me the limits of my digital front end. |
| System Strengths: | Sounds good to me considering the mishmash of components. I am sure it is not the most resolving system, but I enjoy it. |
| System Weaknesses: | Not the quietest (but decent) preamp section on the Mac. Kimber 4VS probably not the last word in speaker cable, and MIT/Monster not the last word in ICs. Strange room shape and space constraints in a 1 bedroom apartment. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
