| Amplifier: | Denon, Stratos with mods by Kraus! |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Rogue Metis is currently stock with no mods |
| Speakers: | Music system is Maggie 1.6/QR's. They're new. I'm probably adding twin ML Depths after the Mye stands come. Theater sound is via SVS subs and speakers. |
| Sources: |
| CD Player/DAC: | I have many sources: For music: Underwood modified Jolida 100A, Oppo SACD, Sony Blu-Ray and HD-DVD via Toshiba. |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | None. By old Thorens is boxed and sleeping. |
| Other Source(s): | Working to set up a Laptop source with DAC. |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Audioquest....nothing too exotic. |
| Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | No power conditioner, but a single circuit in the house handles A/V gear. |
| Tweaks: | Lots, but too much to type hear. Room dimensions below are aprox... |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 16 x 25 x 7.6 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | I have foam behind the 120 inch screen. I hear some odd reflections in the rear, but only in multi channel. Other than that, the room is well damped. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, Jazz, Classical....no hard jazz. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Mono blocks soon, maybe I'll try the Peter Gunn mods. |
| System Strengths: | Clarity and soundstage. The room is really close to perfect for the Maggies. Tweaking position changes things, but it all sounds great. |
| System Weaknesses: | Below 40hz or so the Maggies drop off a cliff. Integration of the "right" sub is a current project. |
| Video/HT System: Separate |
| TV/Projector: | Mitsubishi HD projector to a Cinema White 120 screen. It's BIG! |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Denon, Rotel |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | SVS and SVS subs |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Sony Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, HD Cable |
| Other HT Gear: | Oppo Upscaling DVD player...outperforms the Sony and Toshiba. |
| Comments on HT System: | Big enough to allow for real "screenings" and the sound is better of course. Presentation often looks better than theatrical. Fantastic if you've got the room for it. |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Own and sail a 35 foot sailing boat on the Long Island Sound, Astronomy, Photographer, fast cars, film & screenwriting, raising my beautiful 3 year old boy |
