Amplifier: | Audio Note Kit1. NOS'ed with Westinghouse, Tung-Sol & RCA, topped with current WE300Bs |
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Audio Note Balanced Pre (kit). Output TX and 5687 driven like the Kit1 amp. Tube rectified--of course! |
Speakers: | Cain & Cain single BEN and a single ACI Titan sub. |
Sources: | |
CD Player/DAC: | Audio Note CDT Two/II feeding Audio Note 2.1x Signature. Thinking about yanking out the output caps in DAC and putting in TX...will report back! The trans is simply amazing. |
Turntable/Phono Stage: | none, yet. |
Other Source(s): | Magnum Dynalab MD90 tuner. Not bad, but it's no Audio Note! |
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Speltz Anti Cable speaker, and various interconnects. Digi cable is D60 Kimber. Replacing all with Audio Note cables (soon). |

Tweaks: | Glass or three of Cabernet. |
Room Size (LxWxH): | 27 x 13 x 18 |
Room Comments/Treatments: | Open floorplan of newer tract house makes for no standing waves! But, sure is a pain to find correct position so all is even through midbass. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, Alternative, Jazz, Serious, Folk. |
System Goals/Comments: | Tone, texture, and color are what I've been chasing. I have more than ever, but c'mon...is it ever over?! |
System Strengths: | Much more of things I am after with Audio Note gear than others I have tried. |
System Weaknesses: | Not the last word on imaging/hf detail. Seems to be a tradeoff for these things to get the others I'm after. Like I said, I'm still searching! |
Video/HT System: None |
