rturja's Mostly idling System
Last Update: August 22, 2006 at 08:39:37 IP Address: 213.113.4.185
Amplifier: NAD C352
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): None
Speakers: Totem Dreamcatcher (pair, not surround)
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Marantz CD-63
Turntable/Phono Stage: Lenco75 with heavy plinth, Mayware Formula V + Grado reference platinum, Rega RB-300 + Grado mono cart/Creek OBH-8SE, DIY 'Pass' Pearl stage in progress
Other Source(s): Pioneer F551-L tuner, Marantz SD-50 cassette deck, Creative Zen sleek MP3 player for background "noise"
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Supra ply (Believing the effect of cable differences and direction etc. as much as shakti stones or other snake oil, sorry...)
Tweaks: Numerous on Lenco, starting from DIY heavy plinth.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Older rock/pop 50's to late 70's, from Buddy Holly to Zeppelin or Jethro Tull. Not modern classical.
System Goals/Comments: Have nice enough setup to listen all the software on. Maybe go more for the DIY route in the future. CD-player is in the system nowadays just for those artists good enough to listen, but stupid enough to only release a CD...
System Strengths: Musical, balanced, pretty listenable.
System Weaknesses: Bass a bit too light for church organs etc. Mostly due the speakers. Maybe upgrading speakers someday. Due phasing etc. problems, woofer or subwoofer isn't an alternative.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Senior lab tech, pro video/audio + editor, 3D artist, scriptwriter etc.
