Components Toggle details

    • B&W 800 Diamond
    All new Bowers & Wilkins 800 Diamond Loudspeakers
    • Mark Levinson No 533H
    Three channel power amplifier
    • Mark Levinson No 326S
    Two-channel reference preamp
    • Cambridge Audio Dacmagic 2
    Great little DAC that I use for my computer based sources, such as my AppleTV and my wife's Apple laptop.
    • Apple AppleTV
    Great music and movie server on the cheap. Sounds best with uncompressed music files paired to a good DAC such as my Cambridge Audio Dacmagic. All of my media, both music and movies, are stored on a RAID system in my home office.
    • Sony Blu-ray player
    Can't recall the model number. Will update later. It's the ES model, that much I remember.
    • GIK Acoustics Tri-Trap
    The Tri-Trap has been effectively designed to absorb more low end, but also does an excellent job of absorbing the high end, creating smooth sound absorption from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz.
    • GIK Acoustics Monster Bass Trap
    With new certified lab tests, the GIK Monster has a rating of 3.00 absorption coefficient at 80 Hz.
    • GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel
    Ideally mounted at first and secondary reflection points in a room the GIK 242 Acoustic Panel has the same equal absorption as the GIK 244 from 4000Hz down to 250Hz.
    • Transparent Reference Speaker Cable
    8 foot pair of Transparent Reference Speaker Cable between my Mark Levinson No 533H amplifier and Bowers & Wilkins 800D
    • Transparent Reference Interconnects
    All of my components are wired using Transparent Reference interconnects.
    • Transparent Performance HDMI cable
    I use a 40-foot Transparent Performance series HDMI cable to my Anthem D-ILA projector.
    • Omni+ Vent
    Great furniture grade equipment rack that looks more like a vintage post modern piece than it does a hi-fi equipment rack.
    • Revel Ultima Studio2
    Have them installed in my bedroom system, though they often rotate into my reference system.

Fantastic! I really want to hear the 800D's, a few folks I know who have say they are quite special. Terrific setup!
