Okay as promised (threatened...) here are some photos of the new set-up I have been bugging you all about over the last couple of weeks. I have a MSB Link III Dac on the way and probably need a speaker upgrade in the future but for now the RTR's are surprisingly good with the increased power coming from the Kenwood M-1D.
At Mr.Peabody's advice I just finished A/B the RTR's with my Infinity Reference 2000.4 and both my wife and I agreed the RTR's were the clear winner. Just more detailed than the Infinity's though the Infinity's were pretty good on the vocals. Best way for me to put it is that the RTR's put you in the same room as the band and the Infinity's are like you are standing in the door way looking in at the band.
Just to recap what is there;
Kenwood KT-7500 Tuner
Kenwood C-1 Pre-Amp
Kenwood M-1D Power Amp
Teac EQA-5 Graphic Equalizer
Marantz CD-63SE CD Player
Dual 1019 Turntable
Onkyo TA-RW303 Cassette Deck
RTR Series IV C Speakers
MSB Link III DAC (not pictured but on the way)
I know this does not compare to what most of you have here but you got admit it is definite step up from budget Bose and Sony HT set-ups..... :cornut:
Thanks again to all who responded to my posts and I am sure there will be more once the DAC gets in.
