G-Man's Made it to "1st Base" w/ first Foreplay System
Last Update: July 19, 2001 at 11:26:39 IP Address: 132.233.247.7
Amplifier: Marantz MA500 / Carver AV806 Modules (5)
(amp was Bass List project)

Marchand XM9 crossover

Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Stock Foreplay tube Preamp + MusiCaps. Next FP project will include lots of mods in a nice case.
Speakers: DIY Tower design:
M-T-M = sealed ME2 (thanks Lynn!)
side mounted sub (ala NHT 3.3) w/ NHT1259
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Marantz CC-65SE
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Braided Cat5(MTM)+Monster 14/4 for subs
Various ICs, probably replace with new DIY
Room Comments/Treatments: small space requires listening position to be against the back wall :-( "Open" floor plan helps reduce room modes (few corners)
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Jazz. Used to play the drums so I hate programed percussion.
System Goals/Comments: Goal is Hi-Fi 2 channel on a budget. Need to integrate HT w/o screwing up 2ch music.
System Strengths: loudspeakers quickly followed by FP preamp
System Weaknesses: w/ old preamp out of the picture, now I need to focus on cleaning up buzz and hum in FP.
Video/HT System: None

Edit My System
