Variety is the spice of life :)

Now that's a diverse array of gear! Some drool-worthy components. I've owned a couple and loved them.

A beautiful room and system. Nice to see (3) CD/SACD players.

Happy Listening!

from rshaw: All i can say is WOW, also. You have top shelf, beautiful stuff!!!!! So jealous, You responded to my post :  Looking for a very good amp.  I appreciated your time and expertise, of which I have little.You mentioned that you tried an experiment in bi-amping your Pass 30.5 and now are thinking about parting with one. Just curious about the unit? my cell, if you would feel comfortable in calling is 931-303-3009 or email [email protected]. I live in TN, outside of the Nashville area,  or if not just post me the particulars of the unit, age etc. Thanks again for you comments.

Amazing assortment of gear.
How would you compare if possible, the Conrad Johnson ET7-II tube linestage to a gat?

I hear Cj loves to use teflon capacitors.

Thank you Jim... your kind thoughts are much appreciated.

we have two homes but most of the gear is in the dedicated room in the main 'city' home... yes i rotate... variety is fun, varying presentations are wonderful to hear

pack rat/hoarder, big house lotsa storage, just retired/empty nested, bad combo for accumulating wayyyy too much gear :)

jjss49

jjss49 I can't believe I've never seen your system? systems? until now! Just wow you have so much amazing gear and I LOVE those Spendors! Are you running one setup and alternating speakers/amps or running a few concurrently?

jond

Hi, I noticed that you have or had the Audio Mirror Reflection 45 monos. What do you think of them? I am considering purchasing them from Vlad.

Best,

Remus

Nice room.

chicagoblue1977

Fantastic.

saika2

Very nice!   I noticed you have a Node 2i as a streamer, and you also have Zu Audio cables. I have the PowerNode 2i and just scored some Zu Dirty Weekends; would it be worth it to upgrade my cables to Zu Audio Mission Mk1s from my current 

GearIT 12AWG Premium Heavy Duty Braided Speaker Wire Cable?
