| Amplifier: | ARC VTM200 (2 of them). Used in mint condition from AudioGon. These amps can drive anything under the sun. |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | ARC LS16MkII. Same as above. VTM200's will only accept a balanced interconnect. Among ARC preamps, this is what I would call the starting unit in their "upper level" of performance. Only problem - takes Russian 6H30 tubes. None of the good old 6922 series tube rolling. |
| Speakers: | MAGGIE 1.6QR's with (at some point) a crossover mod. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Rega Planet 2000. Not that bad. |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Garrard 301 with grease bearing / custom plinth (a mixture of soap stone for the plinth & a lot of cleaning, careful rebuild & careful install of the motor asm., and damping the platter to get rid of it's ringing. Working on dropping the voltage to ~84 volts - same speed output with lower motor vibration, / JMW 10 arm / Grado cart. |
| Other Source(s): | Magnum Dynalab & Marantz 10B. MD is in storage. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Nordost |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Shunyata Hydras (2 of them on differnt electrical circuits.) |
| Tweaks: | I hardwire as much equipment together as possible. |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | ~45 x ~25 x ~20 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | This room is a loft. A room this size is almost impossible to have great music unless you work a lot on the placement & get a really BIG amplifer. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Older Jazz / Reiners |
| System Goals/Comments: | Increased accuracy |
| System Strengths: | With the right music, I am blown away |
| System Weaknesses: | Bass, or lack there-of. |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | TV - an old NEC- very nice color is in my bedroom. |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | Sequerra MetMkV |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | I design college textbooks. Beats getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick. |
