I just replaced the Airy 3X sb, and as much as I liked the Airy 3, the UNIverse is simply that much better. I can't wai till it's broken in and doing everything it should. It has so much more weight and authority, and speed.
TriPlanar VII
black and silver. I've never seen an arm so versatile and easy to setup.
Sota Cosmos sIV (the first one!)
Black plex finish
Pass Labs X-ONO
Excellent industrial chic. Nearly as quiet a phonostage as money can buy, with great sound reproduction.
Pursit Audio Design Venustus
1.5 meter interconnect.
Sony SC-D777es
sacd, 1 bit. Modded by Richard Kern in Dec 2005. added new superclock and replaced all caps with Black Gates. The sound is much less 'digital.'
Purist Venustus
1.5 meter IC
Klyne Audio Arts 7LX-3.5b
This is upgraded to newer than the 3.5 version and includes balanced inputs. VERY musical.
Purist Dominus, 4 meter
4 meter pair of the liquid filled Dominus between the pre-amp and amp. The best cable I have ever heard.
Classe Audio Omicron
350 wpc, nearly 300lbs! IMO this has all the benefits of SS w/o the harsh realities. Much more musical than the Krell FPB 700cx I had previously.
Purist Dominus PC - 2
Using two Dominus PCs on the Classe amplifier
Purist Venustus
1.5 meter pair
Harmonic Precision Caravelle
Smallish two way with the original stand.
Sistrum SP-1 (?)
I bought five shelves with the solid top for the Sota Cosmos table. This is a great rack. If a person spent twice the money they might be able to get something better, but is it twice as good? The picture is just the top shelf. [url]http://starsound.biz/multiplatforms.HTML[/url] gives more info.
Purist Venustus PCs (2)
On the Sota power supply and the Klyne power supply.
Exact Power EP15A
I don't know what this thing is doing, but it sure does it better than the Tice Power Block...
Custom made Brass cones
A machinist associate agreed to make several sets of brass cone to use under my phono stage and pre-amp
. Well Albert, . It would seem logical here that you go out and find a set of Rollerblocks and then loan them to Nate since he can't find any. . Rgds, Larry .
. Nate, . I am sorry that I have given you such an insurmountable task. I realize that you have been searching in earnest for 9 days as of today. . Do keep pressing on with your search. It may take a month or longer. but you will prevail. This is the time when you have to look deep inside yourself for your inner strength and forge forward. Good luck., I am sure you will prevail in the end. . Rgds, Larry .
. Ok Nate, . You are now ready to pick up a pair of Rollerblocks (used) on Audiogon to put under the Exact Power. . Prepare for another surprise. . Rgds, Larry .
. Nate, . Once the Exact Power has around 500 hours on it, try placing it on top of a set of Rollerblocks and then listen again....you will be in for a treat.... . Rgds, Larry .
