| Amplifier: | Nad 350 |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | |
| Speakers: | Dont ask. I honestly dont know. Wait...They are made in Sweden. They are an old pair which I stole from my parents and they definately need to be upgraded. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Technics SL-PD847. A 5-disc changer that is starting to get a bit old. I have thought about a new one, but I dont know what to buy. I really like the 5-disc changer, but at the same time a standard single CD player is probably gives better sound. |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Thorens 160 mkII with SME 3009 SII improved. The pickup is a Goldring 920 IGC. I'm very satisfied with this setup, but I need to make some adjustments. The phono stage is a crappy thing called Ready sound CVS 2000. A new and better one would be preferable. |
| Other Source(s): | Philips N2508 cassette deck. A real beauty. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Interconnects are Tara Labs Prism 800i and something called Tech-link+ |
| Tweaks: | I have some in mind, but haven't gotten to it yet. For one, I will change the bottom plate on the TT to a thicker one. |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | My "listening room" which happen to be my whole appartment is filled with assorted junk to dampen the room. Honestly that is really an after-constructed explanation I give people who ask why I have such a mess. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | I listen to a little bit of everything, but mostly rock/pop. Some artists/bands which are cornerstones in my record collection is the VU, R.E.M., Radiohead, Thelonious Monk, Spiritualized, Pink Floyd, the Clash, Bob Dylan, Nicolai Dunger, Elvis Costello, Primal Scream, Mercury rev ++ much more |
| System Goals/Comments: | I would like to change alot (which you probably understand after reading my description) but the monetary funds aren't present right now. The first things I would change are the speakers (been looking at B&W 602) and the phono stage. |
| System Strengths: | Functional playback of assorted music. |
| System Weaknesses: | Many, to many |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Biology, being outdoors, photography, I\'m a biology/math student. |
