My Current Systems
« on: January 03, 2013, 01:43:02 PM »
Here are a few photos of my current systems.
Garage System:
Sansui B2102 MOS Vintage Amp, Sony CDP 707es CD Player, Yamaha C-4 Preamplfier, Klipsch La Scala Speakers (Bob Crites drivers and crossovers), Sunfire Signature True Sub 12", Kenwood KD 5070 Turntable.

Basement System:
(2) Carver Lightstar Reference 2.0 Amplifiers, Carver C-16 Preamplifier, Sony CDP-X777es CD Player, Denon DP-57L Turntable w/Benz Micro MC 20E2 L Moving Coil Cartridge, JBL L-5 Speakers w/JL Audio 10w3v3 Subwoofer modification.

Upstairs System:
(2) Harman Kardon HK 775 Monoblock Amplifiers, Apt Holmann Preamplifier, JBL SE-38 Speakers

Because my systems are spread out, I could not get the entire system (speakers included) in the shot, so I just phototgraphed the main equipment.

Thanks Wayne,
More than I originally intended on spending, but not to bad of a deal due to the rarity of the piece.
