serus's The most coherent system on Earth! System |
Welcome! To add your system, you must register. |
| Last Update: February 08, 2005 at 17:07:30 | IP Address: 66.81.127.45 |
| Amplifier: | Prototype solid-state push-pull amp, based on my previous single-ended amp - "as simple as it needs to be but no simpler!" |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | DIY tube built into a PAS-3 case. Low-feedback GB-5814A (best 12AU7 sub!) line-stage and zero-feedback MM 6027A phono stage. |
| Speakers: | Modified (re-wired, re-capped) Infinity Monitor-II: bass down to 22 Hz with refined highs from the Walsh tweeter. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Revox B-225: massive transport, parallel DAC, low jitter, sweet and neutral. Sony CDP-111: very close to the B-225 with the convenience of a real remote control! |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Oracle Delphi, Fidelity Research FR64fx, ADC XLM-II, collecting dust because it doesn't have an auto-lift and life is just too short to deal with such esoteric concepts... Sugden BD-2 with ADC XLM-II improved - rythm and music on a budget - sweet! |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | DIY braided CAT-5 speaker cables and Oritek Audio X-2 prototype interconnects - the best I've heard (my own company...) |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Amp and preamp use shielded power cords and EMI filters. |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 20 x 15 x 8 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Rugs, couch and a large fabric decor on the side wall. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Classical, Jazz, classic Rock. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Coherent and natural sound. The real goal is to sound not like a system! |
| System Strengths: | It does not sound like a system... Very 'fast', detailed, resolving - and musical! |
| System Weaknesses: | Amps are not brutal, but sufficient for my tastes and room size. Vintage equipment also has its drawbacks... The CD players are first generation single-beam, and there are (very few) CDs that one or both cannot handle. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| TV/Projector: | 51' rear projection Mitsubishi - very basic! |
| URL Link: | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Ham radio (how predictable...) |
