Almost Audiophile

Description

Hi all, just posting the first time in the foru. Been reading many of the posts for sometime though. Anyway, this is my system. I am mostly interested in vinyl but I have tried to make my digital side sound as good as possible without breaking the bank which in turn would break my head when the wife found out. Anyway, the only thing that I am planning on adding from here is a nitty gritty.

Cheers!

    • Adcom GCD-575
    Don't listen to many CDs but this player sounds good and is reliable.
    • California Audio Labs Sigma
    This D/A converter actually makes CDs bearable to me. It sounds nice and warm and gives great fullness to the CD.
    • Project Audio Debut Carbon
    Add the speedbox to this turntable and it is phenomenal. Great sounding budget turntable.
    • Ortofon MC-10 Super
    Very nice budget cartridge. Worth every penny!
    • Rotel RC-960bx
    Nice sounding preamp, nothing fancy just good clean sounding music.
    • Rotel RB-850
    Nice little amp. Does everything that I need it to do.
    • Magnepan SMGa
    Great sounding speakers for those on a budget and a small room. They actually make my room sound bigger than it is. Wonderful sound staging from a "budget" level speaker.
    • Audioquest Evergreen
    Not the best cables but for my system they work great. All of my components are connected with Evergreen except my CD to D/A converter.
    • Audioquest Type 4
    Great cable for those of us that are on a budget
    • Logitec Squeezebox
    I use the squeezebox to interface with music on my computer. I also use it to connect to Rhapsody and radio stations.

Hi,

I bought my SMGa's from Myer-Emco in July of 1990. They have been re-wired once, and are definitely the best money I've ever spent in audio. I power mine with a Rotel RA1062 integrated amp, and surprise, surprise, I get so much bass output that I don't need a sub
