Test Setup
« on: May 02, 2010, 01:05:43 PM »
It's a rainy day and GraphicFX is coming over in the next couple of days to check out the Crown amp I have for sale.  It's a good excuse to break out some gear I haven't touched in a while and get a setup he can demo the amp with.  Test setup is as follows:

Marantz 1200
Crown PS-400
Ipod
River Current Cables
Advent Maestros

Holy crap is all I can say.  Maybe it's the room, maybe it's the combination of all parts but holy sh$t does this setup sound good.  I've been listening to the Amorphous Androgynous album "Alice in Ultraland" (highly recommended if you haven't heard it).  Incredible.  You're getting a hell of an amp Andrew!

***Sorry for the crappy photos.  Iphone with equipment in front of windows = sh$tty***

Every bit of that is good quality components. I bet it sounds good, never under estimate those Advent Maestro's.

I wish I had that kind of stuff to sell!  How can you part with such great stuff - better yet, where do you get this stuff.  I'm luck I can find a pair of "Blowse" (BOSE) speakers here in CNY.  Vintage audio is hard to find.  Any of it.  Check out our Craigslist.  I end up looking at Rochester, Albany, or Binghamton if I need to get a fix.  Even then, it is few and far between.  Mostly car shit, or the good old all in one systems, you know CDP/Tuner/Tape all in one pieces of crap.

Nice setup.  Someone's going to be very happy.
