Components Toggle details

    • Environmental Potentials EP-2050
    • Porterhouse Audio 20 amp Porter Port
    nice outlet
    • Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Line Filter
    First DC Blocker to actually clean up most of my transformer hum and didn't kill system dynamics.
    • wiremold power strip L10320
    nice minimalist quality power strips
    • wood component cabinet forget the model number
    decently made but was not packaged very well and arrived slightly damaged. had it repaired and I reinforced it with brackets and additional wood screws. also customized it for rear access and so I could put my turntable wall mount rack through the back that actually does not touch the cabinet but looks integrated.
    • Volex 17504 10 B1 power cords
    • DIY wall mount bracket for turntable
    Homemade wall mount for turntable. Made form old steel speaker stands and comes through the back of my customized wood component cabinet.
    • Nitty Gritty 2.0 Record Cleaner
    Walnut. Use their Pure 2 fluid.
    • Rega TTPSU
    black, separate from TT wall mount shelf.
    • Rega RP6
    black, using factory black belt (white belt made the table run too fast) - upgraded factory RCAs to Furutech 126(g), strongly recommended
    • Groovetracer RP6 Reference Subplatter
    Recommend this upgrade very very much. Great flywheel, perpetual motion rhythm, very quiet background and tracks dead on at 33 1/3 and 45. Using factory black belt (white belt made the table run too fast)
    • Herbie Mat Way Excellent II-2mm
    Beat my thinner leather double sided suede mat by a noticeable difference. More and more refined bass, more space between the notes (better attack and decay) and more presence in a deeper and wider sound stage.
    • Magic Eraser original
    just a slice between the platter and lowered stylus goes a long way!
    • Audio-Technica AT-33PTG/II 0.3mV MC
    waiting for it to break in and still sounds great
    • Salience / Jasmine LP2.0 mkII
    black, great 2 box phono preamp that beat out my previous Pro-ject tube phono box II with upgraded tube and also beat a Vincent Pho-8 two box phono stage.
    • Oppo Digital BDP-103
    used for BluRay, CD and DVD. also receives HDMI signal from my Comcast cable box.
    • Audio Refinement (YBA) Complete tuner
    black
    • Mogami 2549 with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA
    for all sources before Audio Refinement preamp

    • Mogami 2549 with Furutech 126(g)
    between Audio Refinement preamp and amp
    • Audio Refinement (YBA) Multi-5 amp
    black

    Great cable

Ok, makes sense now. So it was not a direct order. Your dealer must have contacted the US distributor and they would have gone through the regular channels to take care of the duty and other paper work.
Can you please provide a feedback on your speakers and compare them to the Response line you might have heard at your dealer.

sbrownnw,
You have a nice setup going, especially with those ProAcs. You have mentioned that you ordered the ProAcs from the Uk. How did you handle the duty if your directly had them shipped from overseas?

Did you get the Ascend Sierra speakers that you mentioned in another thread? How do you like them?
