Amplifier: Darling 1626 amp
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Air Tight ATE-2 phono/line stage, (highly modified) with black gate caps in the ps. (2X 47 uF WKZ ) worth every cent!! Recently replaced some teflon caps in the PS with oil caps (Audio Note copper) this was a very good idea thing!! Other changes have been the complete replacement of the metal film resistors to Tantalum film . Also a nice improvement.
Recent: Dave Slagle nickel core autoformer volume control. One of the best things i have ever done to my system

Jensen 1:10 step up transformer
Speakers: Vintage Lowther PM6A's with original Ticonal G magnet formulation (amazing) in Big Fun corner horns, cherry veneer, with cherry hardwood front baffel ring to accomodate the alnico magnet.

Room Size (LxWxH): 21' x 21' x 9'
Room Comments/Treatments: Only room treatments are floor to ceiling red velvet drapes, and carpets over wood floor.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Mostly classical, with a preference toward more modern composers. I love the cello, and play it also. Also into some modern 'chill out ' music. I have fun exploring the downtempo section at the local record shop.
System Goals/Comments: I guess I would say that my system has beautiful tone. Very good harmonic developement, and resolution. It is on the warm side but not too warm, it has a sense of ease that I value, over ultra snap you out of you chair, leading edge dynamics that to me just don't seem natural. I listen to my system everyday so listenability is important to me. Bass is very good with the Big Funs in the corners so I don't need a sub.

The bass is actually amazing considering its coming from just the lowther. They are big though and I would guess my room is just big enough for them.
System Strengths: above
System Weaknesses: hell if I know, nothings perfect. I'd like a better cd player some day Maybe a nice accuphase. Alot of classical that I have is only on available cd.
Video/HT System: None
TV/Projector: No TV.......no cable
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Playing Cello, Running.
