    My system is...
    ...almost finished.

    Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD player
    Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista integrated amp (mains)
    Denon DVD 2900 universal player
    Rotel RSP 1066 prepro
    Proceed HPA 2 stereo amp (surrounds)
    Proceed AMP 2 stereo amp (center)
    Creek OBH headphone amp
    Grado SR 325 headphones
    Monster Cable AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer
    Hales Revelation Three speakers (mains and center)
    Paradigm Titan speakers (surrounds)
    Billy Bags rack (9 bays)
    Sony XBR 34 inch widescreen TV

    Cables:
    Bettercables with bulletplugs between SACD and integrated amp
    Kimber PBJ between headphone amp and integrated amp
    Cobalt Cable on all other audio connections incl. speakers
    Bettercables component video cable between Denon and Sony XBR

    What's left to do?
    I want to purchase a line conditioner next. I'm looking at Equitech.
    After that, sometime in the distant future I'll get a good subwoofer and
    a hi-def TV with a much larger screen. Maybe even a projector. But that's way off in the future.

    Revidition
    My Hometheater

    I have now made a major uppgrade of my hometheater and skipped my reciever.
    So here is a revidition of what I got after spending a total of $28000:
    ()=features.

    H/T: Denon AVC-A11SR (7.1 THX Ultra DTS24/96)
    DVD-multiformatplayer: Denon DVD-2200 (progressive PAL/NTSC, DVD-A, SACD)
    CD-Changer: SONY CDP-CX455 (400 discs capacity)
    Laserturntable: ELP LT-1XRC (CD convinience with vinyls)
    Tapedeck: Pioneer CRW-CT606 (digital processing)
    Tuner: Denon TU-S10 (Denons finest)

    TV: Funai 32A-5128 (32” Widescreen)
    VCR1: Daewoo DV-K965 (Nicam)
    VCR2: Philips
    DBS/SAT: Force D-Master 1145S (Optical Output)
    HTPC: PC for movies, Internetradio and games (Celeron 2.6GHz, ASUS 9600 graf & Hercules Digifire audiocard).

    Speakers:

    Center: Dali C1000
    Surround: B&W DM 601 SR3

    VPI HW-16.5 vacuum recordcleaner.

    thanks for posting about the profile...i had ignored that as i've barely been on the site recently.

    Stereo:
    CD: arcam cd62t
    Interconnects: taralabs prism 33i (.5 meter)
    Amp: arcam alpha 8r
    Cable: linn k20 (about 3.5 meters each)
    Speakers: jmlab chorus 715s

    hopefully to add turntable (likely pro/ject rm4) soon.

    Home Theatre:
    Sources:
    DVD: Toshiba SD2300 (yup, that's the "nuon enhanced" model, what a gimmick)
    SVHS/VHS: Panasonic PV-VS4820
    CD: Technics SL-PD8

    TV: Toshiba 27A50
    Receiver: Pioneer VSX-D509S
    Mains: Paradigm Monitor 3v2
    Center: Paradigm CC370v2
    Rears: JBL SAT135 (little sattelites from a htb type set)
    Sub: JBL SUB135 (sub from same set, desperately needs replacing)

    Video connections are all Ratshack Gold, and the rest is pretty random. Speaker cable to center is Linn K20 because i have yet to buy new mains cable since my recent split of the ht and 2channel. The Monitor 3s sit on sand filled Sound Organisation Z055s. The center is on 3 pieces of bluetak on top of the tv. We also have a motorola cable digital cable box from comcast. I don't know the model.


    Other random stuff:
    -Sony STR-6045 (vintage stereo receiver)
    -Magnavox CDB560 (early cd player)
    -Technics SA-EX140 (stereo receiver)
    -Dual CS5000 (has a ground hum problem, somewhat tweakable)
    -Pair of KLH Model Seventeens (60's, sound surprisingly good)
    -Onkyo RX-DR511 (dual drawer cd burner, SO many problems, got it fixed a couple times, now it always freezes after about half an hour. have not bothered to fix it since i got a computer cd burner. it is handy for direct copies though.)
    -Some Akai reel-to-reel i nabbed from my high school. may have speed problems....i have yet to figure out how to make it work properly.
    -Technics SL-DJ1200 (dj/monitor headphones, pretty decent, but i'd like to get some grados for contrast)

    I was playing Finding Nemo when my sub made this horrendous popping sound (chapter 8, when the Bruce let go of the torpedo and detonated the mines, again when Marlin and Dory were in the abyss). Have any of you experienced this?

    Okay, I get it. I had forgotten that you are in the firefighting business (my bad). Fair enough! Nice system you've got. If you don't mind me asking, did you notice a major, or only a slight difference in the sound quality of your Studios when you upgraded to the Adcom amps from whatever you were using before?

    Thanks!

    upgrading Adcoms...
    Well Major.... the only "upgrade" as far as amps goes is I added another "triple nickle" to bi-amp the 100's...and to be honest I didnt hear any difference at all!...In fact I'm really kinda frustrate at this point.....a friend of mine and I went and listened to a set of Martin Logans...the room kinda was lame...but after listening to them I'm a bit wiggly 'bout my set up.....I'm thinking of moving it all in a bigger room for starts....maybe tomorrow!!...but the Logan had such an awsome sweet spot!!...now I realize that my current set up isn't at all in the same league...but I'm really just trying to squeeeeeeze a bit more outta her! but alas....the journey never ends!! lol ;)
