My
System
Well I finally decided to put my system on a seperate page,
rather than let it be submerged somewhere.
| CD Player |
Sony XA7ES |
| Pre-amp |
Sonic Frontiers Line-1 |
| Power Amp |
McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe Edition |
| Speakers |
Proac Response 1.5 |
| Subwoofer |
REL Strata II |
| Cables |
XLO 6A - treble
Nordost Blue Heaven - midrange/bass
XLO type 1 - interconnect from CD to Pre (still the best I've heard
so far)
Blue Heaven - Pre to power
|
| Isolation |
Target D3 rack - glass shelves
Black Diamond Mk.3 cones pre-amp, CD player, decoupling glass shelf
from rack and Amp
DH medium cones and squares under Audioprism Foundation II
|
| Other tweaks |
AFA power cord - amp (nice warmth)
Transparent MusicLink Plus - preamp - open and clear top end but a
bit lean (still better than my Belden though)
AQ Ferrite Stoppers
Vansevers Model 12 single-outlet power conditioner (for REL Strata)
Audioprism Foundation II power conditioner |
| Room Treatment |
Various Sonex panels on front/rear/side walls.
ATT 1.0 Bass traps on front wall corners
|
| Home Theatre |
Sony EP9ES processor
Pioneer DVL-919 (stolen from downstairs system as my Panasonic 1st
generation multicode modification cannot read some DVDs)
Nordost Blue Angel Interconnects (regret buying)
Ancient Yamaha Amp (Quad 77 transferred to office system)
Either Tannoy M2 or Mordaunt Short Ms05i as rear surrounds (depending
on what I'm using in my office system)
5m 89259 interconnects from processor to pre-amp
5m 1505A component video cables from DVD player to projector
Sony VPL-W400QM LCD projector (so good, there's even a fan website
and forum on it :))
Draper 70"x70" Matt white Screen
|
The core of the system: CD player/Amp/Speakers cost under $6000 total.
And all 3 are Stereophile recommended components. (I bought the CD player/Speaker
before it was recommended :)) As to why I bought the McCormack, check
out Hansen's comments at my advice section. Though
of course he has switched to tubes, and come to think of it, I might too
(once I get a raise?).
And for the downstairs system, which is my parents, its SCD-777ES, Nad
S100, MF-2500 biamped pair and Joseph Audio rm50si.
