Description

Needing to snap some pics for insurance purposes, I thought I would post my system in its temporary surroundings. A major home renovation has the family living in temporary digs and my listening room has seen a bit of a compromise. Say what you will about the positioning of my speakers, subs, and even how my gear is housed on my garage-made media cabinet...this is what I have to work with for the time being. The sound diffusers are also garage made. Despite it all, the sound is still unbelievably sublime!

Wish I knew about Aric Audio before I bought my Supratek pre, don’t get me wrong I love the sound from the Supratek, but I have had a lot of problems with it, it has very high output gain and using the gain knob makes it loose a channel on the 300B output and the 6SN7 hums in one of the channels!!! 
Can the Motherload gain output be adjusted?

How do you like the Aric Coda combination? Is it a mechanical quiet pairing ?
Really like your system, if your space works, it works ;-)
