triode3 's Main System
IP Address: 76.72.17.112 Last Update: November 08, 2023 at 03:49:18
Amplifier: I have a number of systems and not really one main system. I will try to respectively put them in order in each section.

Bedroom: Home built ICEpower
Office: NAD 3070 integrated
Living: ARC ST-70-C-3: http://dimlight.org/number9/ARC/arc.html
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): My own build of three preamps in one:

Bedroom: PAS B1 into the ICEpower
Office: NAD 3070 integrated
Living: PAS Labs B1 Buffer
TubeCad Home built with three preamps in one, you can switch between them:
Cathode Follower Buffer
BoozeHound Labs buffer
BoozeHound Labs Phono preamp.
Speakers: Bed: Dynaco A-25s with replaced capacitors.
Office: Fostex full range 3"
Living: Snell Type E/III, really need to get rid of these, they just do not have the ability to image (tried several rooms, positions, etc). The Fostex and Dynacos destroy them in terms in imaging.

Subwoofer is a JBL 2245h 18".
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: None
Turntable/Phono Stage: Technics SL-1200MkII, black. Denon 103 cart. KAB mods.
Other Source(s): Bedroom: FLAC through a RaspberryPi running rAudio controlled by smartphones.
Pioneer Tuner
Office: Computer to NAD 3070
Living: Kenwood 7000series tuner
Another raspberry Pi with rAudio
The Technics table is in the living room
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Interconnects are homemade Canare cable with Neutrik connectors. Speaker cables are Canare star quad speaker cable. Used Kimber 4TC before, but were too short for this room.
Tweaks: Half of my stuff is modified by me or I build it (e.g. the preamps, ST-70, speakers and cabinets, etc)
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Jazz, Ambient, Reggae, some rock/fusion.
Examples:
Coltrane, Miles, Ahmad Jamal, Duke, etc.
Marley, Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse, Sanchez, etc.
Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, English Beat, Surf Coasters, Man or Astro-Mann, Slacktone, Los StraightJackets.
System Goals/Comments: Turntable is a DJ deck, need to replace with a better deck.
System Strengths: Easy to listen to. The system in the bedroom is on 24x7 and is wonderful to listen to. The office system images very well.
System Weaknesses: Living room speakers.
Video/HT System: None
