Nice system! Sweet and neat.
Well Tempered Turntable with Grado Sonata MC, Grado Phono pre-amp, Rega Apollo CD player, Magnum Dynalabs tuner, Krell KAVxi4000 amp. DIY Pro-Ac Response 2.5 speakers. Wired with Audioquest King Cobra with Stereovox Firebird speaker wire. Dedicated electrical line with PS Audio in-wall power conditioner with upgraded power cords throughout. Custom built stereo cabinet (record storage in lower section behind doors).
Thanks Timind! The DIYs are every bit as good as I remember the originals- maybe better in that I really went all out in getting the absolute best cross-over components, put extra RF shielding inside, high-end thin solid core wires, etc. I think they are a little more laid back than the originals. Not that they are not neutral sounding, but if the originals were neutral leaning to cool, these are neutral leaning to warm. I plan at some point documenting my entire process and list all the research and component sources I found while building them, hopefully benefiting future builders.
