The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear

@lou_setriodes

Tells us what else you got goin’ on with the Clayton’s please. That’s like you’re starting off with

All together almost decades of living with my old and oxidized Scott and Pioneer receivers, some KLH and infiniti rotted out speakers and other iterations. Not to mention the almost 100 buys and sells on ebay, usaudiomart and craiglist just learning and trying to get it right. I’m trying to keep it simple. No dac and dac transport player yet, just my minty Pioneer PL-630 turntable for the front end.

My next purchase will be a (T4) The Truth preamplifier/linestage.

I’ve sold my PSA V1801 subs and saving up for the new Spatial Labs Audio M4 loudspeakers coming out later this year or the M3’s.

All my interconnects and speaker wire use Duelund wire with KLE Innovations connectors that I plan upgrading to the Schroeder method. And yes, the Schroeder method is a technique by our very own Douglas Schroeder.

The phono preamp I’m gonna stick with my Budgie Parks Audio with (2) Kevin Deal’s of Upscale Audio Telefunken E88CC/6922 Platinum Grade, Cryoed, matched pair of NOS Telefunken vacuum tubes for now for budget reasons.

And just in case there any home theater heads here I’m selling all my Miller and Kreisel complement of monitors and surrounds here.

To help pay for all the upgrades. I’m just trying to get a good simple 2 channel system. Thanks for asking Lou.

Tyray - That is some serious gear there!!!

I’m on the lower end of the high end spectrum, currently enjoying (for now):

Living Room:Acurus DIA100, TDL RTL2’s, Ariston RD80SL TT, Cambridge Audio Azur 840C, Nak DR2, NAD 4300 Tuner, Spotify thru old IPhone

Bedroom:
Custom Fleawatt amp & passive tube buffered preamp, Omega Super 3XRS, Oppo DV970, Sony ST-80F tuner

Ok, it’s nearly a year later and my life has taken about the most drastic 180 ever!

Six months ago, I moved overseas to Israel and about 2.5 months ago, my audio gear arrived.  I tried to assemble the perfect desert island system of a small system with options (2 integrated amps & 2 pairs of speakers).  Did away with separates for an integrated amp and wanted something small and always loved the looks of those shoe box sized British integrateds.

 

I also lugged over all of my vinyl, cassettes, and cds yet also have a Bluesound node 2i.  I’m now selling off one of the systems and planning to live with less.

Here’s what I have now:
