Audiodon's systems

Well . . . I have good intentions, but honestly I don't get much bench time except between Halloween and Memorial Day.
They're 4th in the queue.
 
It all comes in time thefragger.

That 500-C has gone to EPI-Center's house. Right now I have a Sansui 1000A in there. More changes to come after I have some bench time. Right now my wants and needs don't seem to be front and center.

I'd love to find a nice tube preamp with a remote. The way that system sounds, it's often like someone in the room is insensitive to what's going on and keeps interrupting a conversation. Having a remote with volume and mute would shut them up fast and politely.
With the right preamp, I could start playing with more amps and monoblocs.

Big changes to be announced as soon as I have time to stage new pictures that highlight the gear and downplay the clutter.
 
Teaser time.
No, honestly, I'm pressed for time right now so the fancy setup will have to wait.

Well . . . Spendors don't really have a sound.
They just kind of get out of the way and sound comes out of the wall or something. Their focus is always on natural presentation that doesn't accentuate anything.
Their allure sneaks up on you though.
I guess I'd have to say that they're not really large scale speakers. Like tube gear, they tend towards intimacy. I'm not saying they can't get loud, but they have a sweet-spot oriented focused soundstage, as opposed to delivering chest thumping involvement.

Here's a couple more. I'm presently busy with some cleaning up and then will be playing with positioning and will take vanity shots.

Well, I've staged some vanity shots.
These are about as uncluttered as this space will ever be. We tend to have a lot of stuff around that looks visually busy to the camera's eye. You know how it is.
Timing to get the best possible light is key to a good photo.

I have to admit, I never thought it would sound this good in my home or this room.

Beautiful Don :drool::drool::drool:


But they say Made in the UK, I thought all that "FRAGILE" stuff was made in Italy LOL
 
And you know how good those BC1s they replaced are Urchinn, so you'd have to imagine these are something.

Yeah Bill, but even Yes's Fragile was made by a UK band. The same stickers are on my BC1 boxes and they were made in 1979 by the same company.
I think it's kind of cool that such a sticker would be into its fourth decade.
