GZA's dosen't have a name System
Last Update: September 22, 2001 at 02:13:14 IP Address: 24.4.254.68
Amplifier: Mccormack DNA-225
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): line level out on cd player or home made
passive volume control for turntable
Speakers: Energy Veritas 2.3
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Denon 1650-AR
Turntable/Phono Stage: Oracle Alexandria turntable/ Parasound
phono stage
Other Source(s): not really worth mentioning... Panasonic dvd player/Onkyo tape deck (good for a tape deck)/ Hitachi vcr
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Monster Z2 cable cut in half to 5 feet and then bi-wired/ Monster Z3 Interlink cable
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): 300 lb home made turntable stand filled with sand sort of like the "bright-star/big rock" isolation components and what was an optimus power contitioner that is now completely redone
Tweaks: besides the already mentioned 5 ft halved speaker cable,home made passive volume control, home made turntable stand, and re-done power conditioner I have lined almost everything in my turntable with dynamat extreme
Room Size (LxWxH): ? x x
Room Comments/Treatments: not much more than strategic placement of speakers so that the main "off wall" reflection when sitting in the sweet spot is either obsorbed by curtains or sent off into the kitchen
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Classical, Jazz, hip-hop, rock
System Goals/Comments: plan to upgrade to Veritas 2.4s and buy a dac for my cd player. I dont know why though I have no complaints with my present system. I just figure a man needs an outboard dac and I'm getting 2.4s not becasue of a lack of bass but mainly because they look more "intimidating"
System Strengths: AWESOME dynamics.. I've never heard better
and almost electrostatic like low level resolution. Soundstage is amazing too however I feel my cd player is its biggest "bottle neck" for imaging right now but the imaging will have to suffer for now until I can afford a dac that can equal my cd players low level resolution
System Weaknesses: Not "warm and sweet" mainly because of my amp but I like it this way It's by no means bright or harsh either. I like to think its just telling the truth... I've never been to a "warm" live performance
Video/HT System: None

Edit My System
