Name: Dave Neumann
Location: Louisville KY
ML Speakers: Spires, purchased November 2008
Tweaks: upgraded jumper wires (improved the bass response)
Associated gear:
- Mc402 and Mc275 (Gold Lion KT88, Telefunken 12AX7, Siemens 12AT7, Herbies Tube Dampers)
- C2300 (Telefunken smooth plates in MC section and rib plates in line section)
- Raven One TT, Graham Phantom II, Dynavector XX2 Mk2
- Mapleshade rack; TT sitting on 1" slate platform
- Cardas Golden Reference speaker wires
- WSS phono and 4 meter balanced interconnects
- WSS and Cardas power cords
- MF A5 CD (not used much!)
- Nordost Quatrofil for CD player
- Audience Adept Response 6 power conditioner
- Various room treatments
The room is above my garage and measures 12 X 24 X 8, with a 6 X 8 window nook off to the right.
This is one of the better systems I have put together. The Spires replaced Quad 2805 and are much better in just about everything that I care about.
The Raven TT and Graham Phantom II makes for a very nice combination and with the excellent MC phono stage in the C2300 (with Telefunkens) most of my listening is vinyl. Moving the rack out from between my speakers helped to open up the soundstage. The rack is in the window nook.
From here, I just want to expand my record collection and then keep it to about 800 gems.
Comments, questions, suggestions appreciated!
