| Last Update: September 25, 2004 at 06:58:39 | IP Address: 69.138.69.223 |
| Amplifier: | B&K Reference 4420 (225 wpc @ 8 ohms) driving main speakers |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Hopefully, a Foreplay, but this depends on my ability to build. |
| Speakers: | Magnepan MG2.5R with a variation on GL stands. |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Cheap Sony 5-disc changer for everyday listening. Toshiba 3950 for more serious listening. Don't scoff! It works well with the 2.5Rs. |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Someday. |
| Other Source(s): | The DVD player makes a better source than the changer. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Speaker cables: Alphacore Goertz MI-3 Interconnects: Goertz Tourmaline Interconnects: Monstercable |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 11 x 14 x 8 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | crumpled paper and flannel sheets on wall behind speakers to diffuse the backwave. Ugly as hell, but helps. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Folk, Independent Rock, Jazz, Classical, Electronic, Trip Hop |
| System Goals/Comments: | Goal is to be listenable for multiple genres of music, but primarily to reproduce music with a realistic/live feel. also must double as HT system. The centers and surrounds will want to be upgraded. |
| System Strengths: | The 2.5Rs have fantastic detail and respectable bass. The B&K produces good strong bass and is smooth in the highs. |
| System Weaknesses: | The 2.5s have a hole in the midrange., but the stands and bypassing the tweeter fuse have helped. I could use a slightly more laid-back amp with stronger mids. Considering Classe. |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | Sony 27-inch Trinitron |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Denon 2802 -- drives center and surrounds. |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | Center: RCA Linaeum. MMGC someday. Rears: crapy Optimus. |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Toshiba 3950 DVD player. A little quirky as a DVD player, but decent for CDs. Amazing Sanyo VCR has functioned like a champ for 10 years, and is still clear, crisp and sounds great. |
| Comments on HT System: | 2-channel sound is more important than HT sound. |

| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Occupation: Book designer working with small publishers and self-publishers. Interests: Anime, Sci-Fi & philosophy. |
