| IP Address: 31.209.50.110 | Last Update: October 05, 2015 at 04:21:44 |
| Amplifier: | Yamaha RX-V1800: 7x130W RMS, 0.04% dist. in 8 ohm. Stereo(only use the front channels and pre-sub-out). All settings manually done. |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Adcom GFP-555: Use as HeadPhoneAmp(better than Yamaha) Keeping it for future experiments, may build a simple class A or Tube power Amp to go with it for a "purist system". |
| Speakers: | Main Speakers: Boston-A26 (on stands) - 150W, 8ohm. Subwoofer: AudioPro-SubFocus - 10" long throw, 400W, Vented, port under cabinet, 23-100Hz, ace-bass-7 system. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | HDCD:Rotel-RCD971. SACD and DVD-A: Pioneer-DV585A, set for stereo. Lite-dacAH(modified by a friend: dac chip(4/channel, parallel)now work in classA --> output, OP amps bypassed with capacitor.) |
| Other Source(s): | Samsung BD: Streaming MP3 music over home network(And experimenting with SACD.iso on DVD-R, DSD out(HDMI)BD to DSD in(HDMI)Amp with varying results). Sony USB MediaPlayer for wav files(PCM coax). |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Rotel CD: Audioquest DiamondBack. Boston Speakers: SupraPly 3.4S with Nakamichi banana plugs. AudioPro Sub: IXOS plugs and cable. Pioneer SACD: TaraLabs-Prism 500i. Samsung BD and Sony USB MediaPlayer: standard HDMI and RCA cables. |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Headphones: Shure SRH-940. Usually through the Adcom GFP555, from rec out on the Yamaha. |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Concrete, gips board walls, wood floor, big windows without curtains(like the light, the wiev). Little echo, needs some damping down. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | HardRock(70-80's). ProgressiveRock(everything). Electronic(ex. Tangerine Dream, Kitaro, Kraftwerk etc.) |
| System Goals/Comments: | In the long run towards a warmer, ear friendlier, sound. Gave up vinyl years ago(after i recorded the ca 400 best of them into wav-files). So, gone digital, first thing is an affordable media PC/player for DSD and hi-res PCM files, with/without external DAC. |
| System Strengths: | Tight, dynamic, powerful and detailed sound. |
| System Weaknesses: | Top region can be hard. Sound get "compressed" at high levels. Think the room acusiks need to be tweaked. |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Airguns, Science, Nature, Camping and Swedish Cider. |
