avian's Main system System
Last Update: April 05, 2007 at 06:55:14 IP Address: 202.63.56.244
Amplifier: Two Allen Wright based amps - PP2CS with the chassis made out of carbon fiber (V-Cap coupling caps and O-Netics OPT). And the commercial Vacuumstate DPA300B amp.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Vacuumstate RTP3D for both linestage and phonostage duties.
Speakers: VAF i93 - Some internal wiring replaced with HarmonicTech Pro9, Internal crossover parts replaced with soniccap and mills. Original voicing was quite off (i.e. voiced to be ear piercing).
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Switch between a JLTi/VSE modded Sony NS92V.... and an Adagio DAC, utilising Gary Pimms Self bias CCS's, 6D22s tube rectification, etc.
Turntable/Phono Stage: DIY Teres/Redpoint hybrid Turntable (using the teres bearing and motor). Jarrah wood plinth, Redpoint PVC + drilled aluminium composite platter. Triplanar VII tonearm, Dynavector XX2-mk2 cartridge.

I plan to experiment with carbon fiber as a platter replacement one day.

Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Vacuumstate thin silver wire interconnects. FIM/CRL Silver Series power cords on amps. FIM/CRL Silver Series speaker cables. BlackSand Violet Z1 on sources.
Room Comments/Treatments: The room is patehtic. Whats the cheapest way to deal with an L shaped room?
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): A bit of everything, except rap and generic unprogressive electronic music. I dont like commercial/top40 music thats been made over the past 15 years either
System Goals/Comments: Only goal is to make it 'complete' to the point where I no longer want to upgrade. Its finally getting there.
System Strengths: Best bass I have ever heard. Soundstage and resolution are great too.
System Weaknesses: Need to keep head in a 2mm vice in order for the soundstage to be balanced.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Student (neuroscience). Not many hobbies these days, no time.
