Description

Main system + extra gear (extras are currently PS Audio DAC, NAD & Adcom amps, B&W speakers). If I have spare $'s, next upgrades would likely be speakers that are a good match for the new McCormack & a better universal player.

    • Teac/Esoteric P-10
    When I purchased this in the mid 90's, I preferred it's sound to the $10,000 P-2.
    • Xindak DAC-5
    Recent Purchase. great mids, but still need to compare to PS Audio (which was just repaired) with new Amplifier)
    • PS Audio SL-3
    Been a great unit for years, this was bought many years ago on direct recommendation from Robert Harley. Recently repaired, I need to compare it to the Xindac when I get the McCormack amp. With the Adcom, I prefer the Xindak, but that may not be true with the McCormack.

    Currently dead, has been in the shop a long time.
    • Adcom GFA-555 mkII
    Will be for sale as soon as McCormack arrives
    • Acurus P-10
    Stand alone phono preamp
    • B&W DM-302
    possibly the best budget speaker ever
    • N H T 2.5i
    Replaced my Dahlquist DQ20's in 2001. The Dahlquists sounded great with Analog, but horribly screechy with digital. The NHT's don't do anything magical, but they also don't do anything offensive. Best bass I've ever had. I suspect with the Xindak & McCormack, it's going to be time for a speaker upgrade at some point.
