|
| Amplifier: | Dynaco Mk III's in mostly stock cfg. (SDS cap bank, FR diode), Mitsubishi 75w 80's SS amp
|
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Dynaco PAS 3x with rebuilt PS - FR diodes again (SDS-like), Mitsubishi 80's Tuner preamp (decent tuner BTW)
|
| Speakers: | Klipsch KG3.5 (main, bought used - cheap, from good friend) Lot's of DIY crap, Old midsized Advents.
|
| Sources:
|
| CD Player/DAC: | Apex 600 DVD, Sony Discman, Panasonic Portable, Late 80's Rat Shack SP - they all suck |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Rega P3 w/Shure V15mxr(?newer model) and various Grados that hum, Mitsu LT5-v (currently out of commission), little Rat battery powered phono pre (mainly use the PAS)
|
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
|
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | CAT5 plenum to the Klipsch, 12ga. zip for DIY experiments
|
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 20 x 12 x 8
|
| Room Comments/Treatments: | None except the furniture and area rug. Hardwood suspended floors are bright but plaster walls tighten up everything else. System is in a hall closet (ventilated) which isolates very well but is inconvenient.
|
| Music Preferences and Comments:
|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, Blues, Pop gets most rotation, Jazz and Classical when I'm really free to sit down and enjoy (rare)
|
| System Goals/Comments: | Collecting and listening to lots of vinyl or music in general - everything else is secondary. Looking to build another system in dedicated room, possibly a 300B SE based. I seek good DIY projects or used/vintage equipment and will visit the local boutiques for laughs. I am a fairly recent tube convert.
|
| System Strengths: | Mostly musical except for the digital sources, the Klipsch KG's are really efficient and can go quite deep although a little loose with the Mk IIIs.
|
| System Weaknesses: | HW Floors make the room bright; digital sources are miserable, but I have no energy concerning the format anymore, maybe DVD-A or SACD will rescue me from the past!
|
| Video/HT System:
None
|
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Family - Beeyootifull Wife, Daughter (upper teens) and Son (preschooler), Work (software dev.), fitness, woodworking and DIY electronics (have solder iron but will not travel!) I am competent with soldering and electronics but cookbook only as I have no
