Not mine anymore now (my brothers) since its in England but we built these sytems slowly while growing up:
First start: AIWA NSX430 stereo Then ROtel RA931 integrated amp, yamaha tape deck and wharfdale bookshelf speakers (inherited/stolen from my dad - have to have a crazy dad to have crazy sons - basically inherited both his love of cars and hifi - lol!) Changed to arcam delta 290 integrated (later 290/290P combo) Arcam CD alpha 5 plus TDL RTL 3 speakers Toshiba CRT TV. Years later, moved to home cinema while keeping parts of system - amps and speakers mostly: Yamaha DSP-E580 w/ arcam integrated pre-power combo Later swapped to Yamaha DSPA1 separate w/ arcam for audio Arcam DV88 dvd player Added 1 then 2 REL Q100s Toshiba 16:9 CRT TV Final: Meridian 600 series preamp THX Rotel 5 channel THX power amp rb1090 Pioneer Kuro plasma tv B&W fronts DM605s2 - can't remember rest REL Stadium sub Miss it. Loved the sound - the system could make you emotional - and it makes me emotional thinking about it! Will rebuild my own hopefully if I get that surgery residency! Big IF. Gotta study! See ya!

Well, I finally took delivery of the new phono cartridge. It was back-ordered over 6 months.
I can report there is absolutely no buyer's remorse on this purchase. This cartridge is utterly outstanding. This thing far exceeds the earlier generation Ruby. The imaging is outstanding. The detail and level of information this thing extracts from each record, even those I have owned for 40 years, has to be heard to be believed . Each musical note stands on it own. Attacks and transients are quick, clean, and sharp. This is the beeeeeeeest freaking phono cartridge I have ever heard.

samsung led (this thing is awesome, pretty much on the entire time and my monthly electricity bill is still only around $40), samsung standard sub and speaker bar. and $100 bose speakers on the mac pro workstation.
i like bose, costly i know, but easy and gets it done in a nice clean package. been bangin' these for over 5 years and not a scratch. how much money are you guys spending on your stuff? b-t-dubs, thread repost brotato. Last edited by amanda hor$t; 05-18-2013 at 11:08 PM.. |
