Here's the Red. It has come a long way sense I first got it. I'm sure I have over a humdred hours on it. I wont bore you with audiophile talk. Just know the sibilance has gone, its clear, transparent, is a tad little recessed in mids but never the less its warmer than the OM10. Not as warm as my Elan, but the entry level Elan is not as detailed as the Red. Its a good cart. I would love to hear a 2M Blue...and more upscale Goldring.

This is a shot of my Marantz. Its a universal player and a good one at that It retail at $699 when introduced a few years back. I use it strictly as a SACD. It's very good but it has a few flaws like slow loading. But the sound is great.

I really like this table. It really does a good job for a person getting back into vinyl after being away for 20+ years. No matter how much I like it, it can only produce to its limits. When first introduced a few years back , it was said that it was an entry level audiophile table. And because it is, then its limited in its arm as well. So I know that it only gets better as I continue to go up in quality from here. But as is, this is a fine table at that.

To me, Canton speakers are a well kept secret in American audiophile circles. They are extreemly well known and loved over seas. They have very good imaging with a great mid-range and a lively tweeter. They have a decent bottom end as well. They are 14.2" tall 7.5 wide and 10.6 deep. The Frequency response is 38...30.000 Hz, the power handling is140 watts and they are 89 db. They have a silk dome tweeter and aluminum mid woofer and real wood veneer...no vinyl wrap. These speakers have a great dispersion of music and they are not boring at all. These are great speakers and I plain on upgrading to the Ergo series. I forgot to add...if you want a speaker to give you emotion and feeling from your music...Canton is one of those speakers that can.

This is my preamp. Its a pretty good one at that. It has a very nice phono stag as well. It does everything well. At $1200 dollars it better at lease be decent. But last week it really got exposed for what it is...very good mid fi. After listening to a Audio Research LS 15 tubed preamp I felt I really need an upgrade. But until then this is still a good preamp...not bright but not warm...no cutting edge in music at all.

At 200watts a channel this thing rock very well. Its smooth and never misses a beat...nothing else needs to be said.

This is my baby. This thing is like really good. It comes in two pieces....the right side is the transport and DAC and the left side is the power supply. And there is a third piece that I am waiting for...a tubed DAC. that is said to take it over the top and on par with Musical Fidelity's KW series tube DAC and CDP outfit. The X DAC is hard to come across as people are not letting them go. The three pieces when in production together cost $3K and the DAC costing $1500 by its self.

Sorry about the side way picture. These are my Analysis Plus cables. If you can get past the color these are pretty good cables. They are what hold down the edge from the Rotel. They are a warm and detailed cable.

My 2 channel room is in the basement that leads to my back yard as you can see. The gear faces kissing doors that lead to the biggest part of the basement where one of my home theaters. I have another home theater in the family room up stairs.
