coventry Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 What are some audio systems you all have? What are some of the best recordings - vinyl or otherwise - of live and studio recordings? What speakers, amps, sources, cables, and other components do you or did you have? Feel free to post pictures of systems or dream components and to review components and recordings. Feel free to recommend components and recordings, too. Cheers! Cov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Phew is right! Is that the 18w Audio amp you have? I heard one a while ago that reminded me of Sophia Electric's smaller amps. Linn sondek LP-12 turntableOrigin Live Silver tonearmSumiko Pearl cartridge Rotel 1072 cd player LSA Statement Integrated amp with rolled Amperex 7308's in the input stage Reference 3A de Capo i monitors on custom-built Ora Audio stands. Clear Day IC's and speaker cables. SIgnalCable Magic power cord. Pretty comfortable for now - though the merry-go-round is always playing in the distance...

Smegger68 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It is the 18 watt single ended KT-88 based one. I'm running KT-120's in it at the moment as I find the top end is much nicer and they last a LOT longer. Forgot to add my Digital setup! Micromega Minium CDTheta Pro Prime DACHomebuilt HTPC Also have a Nakamichi Cassette deck and Sony Minidisk deck still in the system, though I'm not sure for how much longer if I need the rack space :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 What are some vinyl recommendations you have for well-produced rock or jazz? For example, I just got the Steely Dan AB1006 pressing of "Aja" as it was the best reviewed of the pressings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
