joeljoel1947's Classic Tubes and solid state system *pic* System
IP Address: 76.234.145.91 Last Update: December 29, 2009 at 19:35:43
Amplifier: Quicksilver Mini-Mite Monoblock Tube amps for tube version of this system.

Classic Threshold 400a Nelson Pass for the solid state version.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Soundstage Vacuum Two tube preamp for the tube version of this system.

Classic Threshold NS10 Nelson Pass preamp for the solid state version.
Speakers: Custom 2-way transmission line satellites with Hiquphon OW4 tweets and Silver Flute woofers. Series xover (1st order as I'm after time/phase coherence) consists of 2 elements, all point to point wired. These sit on top of custom 15" subwoofers using a Kiega 500 watt plate amplifier and 15" Dayton reference HF subwoofer drivers.
