Been collecting stereo equipment for many many years. A lot of equipment has come and gone.

About 5 years ago I got back into vinyl and stereo equipment.

I'm quite happy with my current setup(s).

The main system is consist of:

Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp.
Carver C-9 hologram generator (use it rarely)
Onkyo C-7030 CD Player
VPI Classic 1 turntable with dust cover
AT-OC9/III cartridge
Jolida JD9 Phono premp (modified)
2 - Carver TFM-45 amps. (Rebuilt by Rita and signed by Bob)
Acoustic Research AR9 speakers (bi-amp with the Carver TFM-45's)
Revox B77 RTR
Audio Source EQ200 Equalizer (used for the LED Display only )
2 - Panamax M5300 Conditioner/Surge Protector



The VPI Classic 1 I got about a month ago and love it! Great sounding TT!




The Kitchen system #1

Same preamp, Turntable etc as above.
Acoustic Research AR-LST speakers
Carver TFM-45

The Kitchen System #2

Same preamp, Turntable etc as above.
2 sets Acoustic AR3a's
2 - Yaqin MC-100B amps. (Running KT120 tubes)





There's an extra Carver TFM-45 amp in the main setup, I'm still looking for another set of AR-LST's that the Carver will drive.

It's amazing how good each setup sounds but at the same time how different.:yes:

Anyway, thought you guys might enjoy a few pics.

Uh... wow! Very nice setups. I also like how they fit/blend into their respective spaces (esp. pic #3).

Pretty sure you don't need that baseboard heater when those amps are fired up.

Nice integration of the lava lamp; especially with the RTR.

Great looking systems.........seriously, GREAT looking systems!

Man, I love that Revox with the aftermarket hubs. Beautiful reels too. I have A77 Mk4s and love them.

Please consider listing the overall details of your Jolida MK II upgrades, would like to know what worked well for you and why?

Thks jeffjeremy

Amazing collection of gear you have!

P.S. How do you use your C-9, also have one of them but was going to utilize it in the Media surround system...
