Amplifier: | Threshold SA/2 Stasis class A monoblocks with optical bias. One of Nelson Pass's greatest classic designs |
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Audible Illusions Modulus 3a dual-mono tube-hybrid. Researching for suitable surround processor- system currently only two channel. |
Speakers: | Martin Logan Aeon fronts, ML Cinema center, nEar 05 self-amplified monitor surrounds. |
Sources: | |
CD Player/DAC: | Samsung universal DVI-SACD/CD/DVD/DVD-A, etc. Stop-gap player, but researching. |
Turntable/Phono Stage: | Can tie into 'low-power class a room' through wall to use that turntable, if needed. |
Other Source(s): | Luxman T-450 'Lux-lock' tuner Comcast digital music service-surprisingly good |
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Alternating- Coincident TRS, funky older 'name-unknown' pair. PS Audio xStream Statement bi-wire cabling |
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Richard Gray Power Co. RGPC 400 MK II 'Rack' consists of an ancient carved mahogany column segment with carved Corinthian cap and marble shelf. |
Tweaks: | All cabling is held off floor by custom mahogany risers. Monoblocks are on bamboo platforms with ceramic feet (Upside-down chips & dip tray if you can believe it!) |
Room Size (LxWxH): | 16' x 18' x 8' |
Room Comments/Treatments: | None yet. Still testing. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Jazz, 60's, 70's, 80's, electronica, ambient, Bach harpsichord, and movies of course |
System Goals/Comments: | To have a great-sounding system that plays two-channel music as well as integrating with the theater display/surround system without compromising the sound of either. All from bed. |
System Strengths: | Plays any music soft or loud equally well- effortlessly and without strain, harshness, looseness or listener fatigue. Threshold SA/2 Stasis amps are 20 years old but IMO have very few competitors. And also sounds great as a surround theater system. |
System Weaknesses: | Two-channel A.I.M.3a preamp has no remote. |
Video/HT System: Integrated | |
TV/Projector: | Fujitsu 55-inch plasma hanging from rolling track on ceiling. DVI-Integrated with laptop as monitor |
