Hi Everyone,
Wouldn’t it have been nice? Here I am at my PC (an I7 Omen with all the goodies including an Alienware monitor, SMSL DAC) listening to music via a Marantz 2250 playing a vintage LP on a Sota TT with Origin Live arm and an OM30 cartridge, into a pair of Martin Logan Motion 4s and a D300 powered sub. CD, DVD and Blueray Video if needed is displayed on a separate Dell 24 inch monitor. Then the main system is the sort of stuff I would have done nearly anything to get back in the mid-60s. A quad of upgraded Oddblocks, passive digital preamp, two turntables (a custom direct drive with Jelco arm and Dynavector Karat 23RS-MR, an Empire 598 with a Jelco arm and a Grado Sonata II) one of my customized all tube phono preamps, an Akai R-R tape recorder, a Nakamachi cassette, a Sony HD FM tuner and a Marantz CD player. All are feeding a pair of Martin Logan ESLs and a pair of Altec Lansing VOTs (Magnificent style). Oh by the way there is streaming and blue tooth provided by a self-configured Supermicro I7 PC with all sorts of goodies in it. I don’t know how I could have lived through the “dark ages”. Moving on, virtually no bills, comfy house and good family nearby. Better yet a spouse that might not understand the obsession with audio at least isn’t critical of it. How about you?
Good Listening
Bruce
