| Last Update: June 21, 2003 at 21:24:34 | IP Address: 172.174.195.212 |
| Amplifier: | ASL Wave 8 Monoblocks |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Yamaha C-2A |
| Speakers: | Axiom Audio M3Ti's |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | DVD player bastardized for CD player usage: JVC XV-SA70. DAC: ART DI/O, basically stock for now...for now. |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Kenwood KD-2055 Belt Drive, corian base with Grado Green, few little tweaks. The Yamaha is my phono stage (please refer to system name for explaination.) |
| Other Source(s): | Tuner: Kenwood KT-5500 with Magnum Dynalab Silver Ribbon antenna Sound Blaster Live! for Lo-fi MP3 playback when I'm feeling very lazy, or not listening critically. And a cheap VCR for TV sound. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Speaker Cable: Roll your own CAT5 Plenum, 10 pair conductors, braided. Interconnects: For the components not worthy of good cabling, whatever I found in the box. For the better components, a few AR 'pro' series cables, and an IXOS verdi that I quite like. |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Whatever it lands on.... |
| Tweaks: | Most equipment rests on a bubble wrap supported shelf, I need to fix that... :) |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | In transition, will be a hole in the wall (9'x11'x10') soon enough |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Pretty varied...Classic Rock, little modern rock, good bit of Classical, especially Bach and Mozart. A few Jazz musicians, and the occasional light rock penchant. |
| System Goals/Comments: | I've hobbled it together in, well 18 months now really, everything but the TV and VCR is new. What can I say, it's an addiction. Main goal is great sound on a budget, musicality being foremost, life-like presentation that is. |
| System Strengths: | Quite happy with Analog playback, I love the Axioms, and the Wave's. Digital just got a lot better with the DI/O |
| System Weaknesses: | No low frequencies, and I've pretty much given up on incorporating surround sound until I have more space. |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | Crappy newer Philips/Crap-in-a-Box 19" Color ;) TV |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | No more |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | JVC XV-SA70 |
| Comments on HT System: | Meh. Don't have enough money to spend to put together anything listenable now. |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | GA Tech...that\'s my school, keeps me occupied. |
