First Hi-End Dabble

by ama530 on Ever Evolving

Description

I am an engineer at Allen Organ Company, and this is some of the equipment I bought when Allen sold the Legacy Audio business. I have the equipment split between a HT/2-channel system for my playroom downstairs and another 2-channel system for my gym. Can't get enough of this stuff! I'm addicted. I'll post more pics as I add pieces to the system. I am also working on my own line of speakers. Stay tuned!

    • Pioneer PD-65 elite
    Purchased this piece that was used as a demo. Had a few dings in the wood sides. I made a new set of oak sides to match the rack I built and reveneered the original sides with some rosewood. Looks like new now. Excellent player.
    • Dual 1019
    This was my Father's piece when he built his system in the late 60's.
    • Sony TC350 & TC250
    A pair of reel to reels that I got from my Dad.
    • Coda FET-01p
    I picked this piece up for practically nothing. Using this as a preamp for my Dual Turntable and my Sony Reel-to-Reels when I get it setup.
    • Legacy Audio Legacy pre
    The pre for my 2-channel system. Excellent piece.
    • Legacy Audio Stereo HC
    I use this amp to power my studios in the gym system. This was a basket case unit that I rebuilt. A great amp.
    • Legacy Audio Nexstep
    Great processor I picked up for a steal. It needed some work, but I fixed it up just right.
    • Legacy Audio Impulse
    Picked up 3 of these that were demo units. I'm actually using them as power amps cause they sound fantastic.
    • Legacy Audio Signature mkIII
    These are a special pair of Signatures. I built these from some parts left over from when Allen Organ sold Legacy.
    • Legacy Audio Accent
    Rosewood fronts to my HT.
    • Legacy Audio Broadway
    This is a rosewood beauty. Very unique looking and sounds great. Center of my HT.
    • Legacy Audio Studio
    Got 2 pair of these guys. One in Rosewood, one in Oak. Rosewood's are the rears of my HT.
    • Legacy Audio Sonara
    A pretty nice little sub for my HT.
    • Legacy Audio Victoria
    Awesome 2-channel speakers. Needs a sub to handle down low though.
    • Straightwire Encore
    Very detailed cables.
    • NA DIY
    Hyperlitz array style bi-wire cable. Polyethylene core, 8 conductor, teflon jacket, carbon braid covered. Spades (speaker) & expandable bananas (amp).
    • Belkin Pure AV PF60
    Power Conditioner
    • Rotel RT-940ax
    Tuner for my main system.

Hi Greg,

Sorry for not responding right away. I'm pretty much set on my gear and very happy. Appreciate the offer though. The only thing I am going after currently is some high end RCA connectors to make up some custom interconnects. I have a large spool of cable that Legacy used for their Lattice interconnects many years back. Still sealed in the box yet.

Thanks,
Chris

Interested in a silver Coda 11.5 100 watt class A amp?  It is at Doug's place now getting fixed.  A short in the right side output.  I bought it new from Jason Schuner (he also sold me my 20/20's), almost 20 yrs. ago.

Does the football make an acoustically significant contribution? :-)

Very nice setup; I like the cabinet under the TV.

I am purchasing an Allen MDS-312 (3 manual self-contained) Theatre Organ currently hooked up to 2 HC-14 speaker cabinets. The orgen is currently being shipped to me.

I was wondering if you know what kind of plugs are in the organ and what kind of plugs would be in an Organ Base Speaker on Organ Subwoofer Speaker? What kind of wire is required to go from the organ to the speakers? No doubt is is more then just two wires pluged to a red and black plug, like on a regular cd player system. Thanks for any and all your help!!!!

Nice system, I am really familiar with Legacy, great product!

Nice choice in speakers, I must say. I've got the Sig's and Studio-i's as well. What woofer is that you are using on your Sig's? Are there still 3 of them? Good luck with your speakers.

System edited: Added some more pics. I will be adding a small sub to the gym system and a second sub to the main room soon. I will also be setting up my turntable and reel to reels in the next few months.

System edited: Started adding some pics finally. The system is ever expanding with new things I am building. I will post some more when I can.

A photo of the full system. A photo of atleast one speaker. A close-up of the turntable. And maybe a pic or two of something interesting of your system... maybe a rare piece of vinyl or so...

We are waiting!

Kind regards,
