Welcome! To add your system, you must register. |
| Last Update: June 28, 2004 at 12:53:11 | IP Address: 68.169.26.88 |
| Amplifier: | Anthem Amp 1 |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Anthem Pre 2L |
| Speakers: | VonSchweikert VR-2 |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | Meridian 500 -> Meridian 566 20 bit |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Cheapo JVC table and Pickering cartride ca. 1987. Not set up currently - no phono stage as of yet. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Spkr: Luminous Renaissance, 2 pair, bi-wired the hard way Interconnect: DH Labs BL-1 Digital: Apogee WydeEye AES/EBU |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | AudioPrism Foundation III VTI A/V racks on the way |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 25 x 18 x 7 1/2 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | A very chunky "L" The system is against an 18' wide front wall and I have ~ 24' sidewalls, one of which extends just past my listening spot. But I have only half a rear wall where the bottom of the L opens into the long portion. Speakers are 10' apart and 5' out into the room; couch is another 12' back from them. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock and roll (from back when it was good!) Jambands (Dead, Allmans, Kimock: lots of high-quality bootlegs) Listening to more and more jazz - really dig MJQ and Miles. Also more classical, mostly chamber but some symphonic and choral. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Goal: The most accurate, involving reproduction I can get. Comments: -Need to get the phono going. Looking at a Bottlehead Seduction as an inexpensive phono pre I can live with for a while. Will be receiving a better lo/mid-fi table (Sherwood) soon but want to buy something real (~700 used) over the next year. -Also want to experiment with different tubes |
| System Strengths: | To these amateur ears, sounds well balanced and images pretty well |
| System Weaknesses: | Would like to hear more air around instruments, see if I can get better imaging. Need to start picking up some better quality sourcre material. |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | 27" Sony Wega |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | N/A |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | N/A |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Panasonic DVD-RV31 player Sony SLV-N50 stereo VCR |
| Other HT Gear: | Scientific Atlanta cable box from the good folks at Adelphia (thanks for the Coax dig out!) |
| Comments on HT System: | I should say SEMI-integrated with stereo: -HiFi VCR feeds a preamp input -DVD feeds DAC via TOSLink -Cable box feeds DAC via Coax/RCA |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Techno geek in a large software sales organization: I keep the sales people educated and honest on the technology that's over their heads. Mostly I chase my 4 kids (ages 5 weeks to six years) around. Also into cycling, hiking, skiing. Enjoy international travel, which I get for free from work :) |
