DougE's DougE's mostly Audio Note System
Last Update: January 05, 2006 at 14:50:49 IP Address: 66.60.167.36
Amplifier: Audio Note Kit1. NOS'ed with Westinghouse, Tung-Sol & RCA, topped with current WE300Bs
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Audio Note Balanced Pre (kit). Output TX and 5687 driven like the Kit1 amp. Tube rectified--of course!
Speakers: Cain & Cain single BEN and a single ACI Titan sub.
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Audio Note CDT Two/II feeding Audio Note 2.1x Signature. Thinking about yanking out the output caps in DAC and putting in TX...will report back! The trans is simply amazing.
Turntable/Phono Stage: none, yet.
Other Source(s): Magnum Dynalab MD90 tuner. Not bad, but it's no Audio Note!
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Speltz Anti Cable speaker, and various interconnects. Digi cable is D60 Kimber. Replacing all with Audio Note cables (soon).
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): DIY rack based on flexy double from tnt hifi.com
Tweaks: Glass or three of Cabernet.
Room Size (LxWxH): 27 x 13 x 18
Room Comments/Treatments: Open floorplan of newer tract house makes for no standing waves! But, sure is a pain to find correct position so all is even through midbass.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Rock, Alternative, Jazz, Serious, Folk.
System Goals/Comments: Tone, texture, and color are what I've been chasing. I have more than ever, but c'mon...is it ever over?!
System Strengths: Much more of things I am after with Audio Note gear than others I have tried.
System Weaknesses: Not the last word on imaging/hf detail. Seems to be a tradeoff for these things to get the others I'm after. Like I said, I'm still searching!
Video/HT System: None
