My system
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:19:55 PM »
So it was just pointed out to my by Tom that I haven't posted my system here  :-[.  So I figured I would post my systems here.

Here's the updated HT setup equipment list and some pics:

Equipment List:

TV: Panasonic 60" ST30 Plasma
Receiver/Pre-amp: Integra DTR 5.9
Amplifier: Carver AV-705x, Carver M1.0t (In transit from Vintage Hi-Fi)
Fronts: Polk LSi 15's modded with a db840 sub
Center: Polk LSi C
Surrounds: Polk LSi F/X (wall mounted)
Sub: None
Misc Gear: Xbox 360, Samsung BP-1600 blu ray player, Uverse DVR, Pioneer laserdisc player
Equipment not pictured: Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64

Speaker Cables:

Left, Right & Center: Kimber Kable 8VS internally bi-wired with bananas on both ends
Surround Left, Surround Right: Monoprice 14 gauge with Monster Quick Connect banana's on the amp end and quickflex connectors on the speaker end

Interconnects:

Left & Right: 1.5m Kimber Kable Hero
Center: .5m Kimber Kable Hero
Surround Left, Surround Right: 1m Emotiva X series (soon to be replaced by .5m Kimber Kable Heros)

And here are the finished pics, including the LSi F/X's being mounted.  Please note the white conduit that is on the TV wall has been painted the same color as the wall, just wasnt done in those pics.

P.S. The pics dont show the Kimber Kable Hero's, or the Kimber Kable 8VS's, I didnt take new pics, when my Carver M1.0t shows up it will be the incentive to take some new pics  >:D







Here are some pics of the cable management in the rack.  I managed to keep ALL the power, HDMI, IC's and Speaker wire totally separate.  Took a bunch of doing, but its done for a LONG LONG LONG TIME.







Here is my 2 channel system.......

Equipment List:

Pre-amp/DAC: Audio GD NFB-5
Amplifier: Fisher 460A EL84/7247
Speakers: Polk RTA 11TL's

Speaker Cables:

Monoprice 14 gauge with Monster Quick Connect banana's on the amp end and quickflex connectors on the speaker end (soon to be Kimber Kable 4TC)

Interconnects:

Audioquest G-Snake 1m (soon to be Kimber Kable Hero .5m)

 
My setup right now is all digital.  I am using XBMC as my Media Player to send out the FLAC files via ASIO to the Audio GD NFB-5 via USB.  The Audio GD has a variable output that I am using to connect to the tube amp. 










The Nerd Collection





Here go some more pics of the sexy tubes from the awesome guy who did all the work on it.






This last one is a nude pic so keep the kiddies eyes away :wink:

Nice system!! Did you get that couch at Big lots? If so, we have the same one. Comfortable as hell, but it gives off a lot of static electricity...

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Yup, that's the place we got it.  Same with the chair and a half and recliner.

It is comfy but we sink into it too far lol.

Thanks, it looks even better with the Kimbers.  First ICs I ordered just long enough to work.  Cleaned up a TON.

Also that top black box in my office is a mini itx computer I will be posting pics of soon.  It's a perfect hi-fi playback system I will use with the audio gd headphone amp at work.

I will use my iPhone to controlusic playback so I won't need to use a monitor!


P.S. I love that antec case. I put 5 noctua fans in it running on a controller and its dead quiet.

If you want I can post that machines specs as its somewhat of a hoss lol.

Consumer Reports did rate a Panasonic TV as being the best.

Is the cage in the 2 channel room to keep the female guests in so they don't bother you while you listen ?

Yup love the Panny although the funds for it were originally set to be used for a sunfire 450x5 :(.

The cages are for our two crazy dogs Fox (a corgi) and Chewbaca or Chewy for short (a terrier mix).

They enjoy tubes with me :)

My Vintage Hi-Fi refurbished M1.0t just arrived at work.  Packaged to withstand a nuclear blast!  Got it sitting out now getting back to room temp so I can play it tonight.

I will post some good pics when I get around to it, I want to enjoy some MUSIC first  :P.  But quick notes, work is STELLAR, amp looks quite good, cant wait to see the white LED's bounce  8).  Might have the Police called on me tonight if I get my way, cause I WANNA PARTY!!!!!!!  :police: :police: :police:
