Martin Logan Vantage
Purchased new off of Audiogon in May of 2006
System Components:
1) 42" Philips Plasma (42PF9630A)
2) Sony upconverting DVD player with HDMI out (DVP-NS90V)
3) Jeff Rowland Concerto Preamp (BetterCable XLR interconnects)
4) Jeff Rowland 201 Mono Amp (2x)
5) Canary Audio CD-100 with Mullard Tubes (BetterCable XLR interconnects)
6) Xbox with HD Cables
7) I-pod dock
8) Scientific Atlanta HD cable box with DVR and HDMI out, through Time Warner Cable (Exploler 8300HD)
9) Belkin Home Theater Power Console (PF30)
10) Martin Logan Vantage (Dark Cherry)
11) PS Audio Speaker Cable (Xstream Plus)
12) Martin Logan Depth (BetterCables XLR to RCA interconnects)
13) 1m Audioquest RCA interconnects (Black Mamba)
14) 1m PS Audio Power Cord (Xstream Plus)
So it wasn't long until the upgrade virus hit. I've quickly gone from a PS Audio integrated (for sale right now) to a Jeff Rowland preamp and a pair of 201 monoblocks. I've also added a tubed Canary CDP and a depth sub for extra bass. This progression has gotten me to what I consider the perfect two channel system (for me), and a great starting point for a full HT system when time permits. Thanks to all for the suggestions along the way, and I'll have new pictures posted soon!
