Mreichler's Godzilla on Patrol System
Last Update: February 12, 2004 at 16:01:15 IP Address: 209.86.100.174
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.
