I rarely start a thread, but I am feeling a bit self-indulgent today.
So, maybe Hurricane Irene has cleaned out the air sufficiently that my secondary system sounds magical. The system is nothing special by Audiogon standards ... a Prima Luna Prologue Two tube integrated, Rega Apollo CD player, and Ascend Acoustics Sierras speakers. No idea what the cables are ... I think Audioquest ICs and QED speaker wires. Tubes are definitely EH 6CA7.
Just played the Band's 'Stage Fright' and am now listening to Stills & Young 'Long May You Run.' Sounds like Levon Helms and Stephen Stills dropped by to stay awhile and play.
as it was said in Little Big Man, "sometimes the magic works sometimes it doesn't" be grateful and enjoy whenever it does. It is always the music not the gear.
"system is nothing special "? Audio has been "my thing" since the late 60's. I had the Rega for a while and can gauran-damn-tee you it is a special MUSIC maker!
"Nothing special?" Shut up! That looks like an awesome and well balanced system to me. From your comments I would assume you are experiencing the elusive synergy.
C'mon, isn't anyone going to attribute this to the fact that half the east coast is off the grid because of downed power lines? Of course this makes your power source cleaner.
