CUSTOM MADE READ DESCRIPTION
WELL I HAVE A STEVE BLINN STAND FOR THE TURN TABLE BUT THE MOST SIGINICANT MOD IS I HAD AN ENTIRE TWO SHELF SYSTEM MADE USING DOUBLE SHEET OF 3/4 INCH MDF WITH DYNAMAT SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN AND EVEN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SHELF IS DONE THAT WAY SO BASICALLY THE CD , ANALOG AND BLUE RAY ARE ALL SITTING OF 4 LAYERS OF MDF WITH TWO LAYER OF DYNAMAT. WHAT A DIFFERENNCE, ALL THE CONES AND FEET NEVER SOUNDED THIS GOOD. AND IT COST LESS THAN $1500
Acoustical Solution bass trap,sound suede panel
i use it to control the reflection since my lsitening area is not very large (15X15)
Black diamond racing pucks
tighten the bass on the uno subs
Vibrapod and cones cones
For the price, it is unbeatable, have it under every p[iece of euipment and my tom evans amp sounds tighter.

System edited: WELL A YEAR LATER, I ADDED ANALOG,ALL CARDAS GOLDEN REF CABLES EVERYWHERE. CUSTOME MADE SUPER SHELVING AND AVANTGARDE TRIO. I HOPE I AM DONE
All power cables have been switched to cardas golden reference. All components are now on vibrapods and a steve blinn amp stand is also added. One major improvement was using the groove tube with 10 rating on the tom evans amp, what a difference! Next will be the oracle analog and SME arm, when the uncle bush's stimulus check come!!! :)
The duos are even more efficient then my uno's which is louder then one can bear. With the manley's you won't need push pull, the SET are much better sounding don't you think? i had the KR 300B before and it sounded very nice, The KR had 12 watts like the manley, i think you will like them.
tom evans was good with the placette pre but the vibe preamp with pulse power supply sounds even more real and i recently change the EI tubes with mullard which sounded detail but bright and then electro harmonic which is wonderful as tom is shipping his amps with these tubes now, but the warmest sound so far comes from groove tube with a breakup rating of 10, the amount of detail and realism is just fantastic.
System edited: Tom Evan vibe and pulse coming this week! and cardas golden reference power cables. Got the machina dynamica clever little clock and the effect is surprising! also put in the machina wall plates, can anyone tell me why that works because it does!
