Description

Sadly I have been a Audiophile /Music lover for a long time, Have had many systems of all kinds this system may not be my best but I am very pleased with the way it sounds, I own a Modwright LS 36.5-DM Preamp with vintage tubes I am waiting on some Mullard GZ37 and Soviet 6H30 DR to install , my power Amps are the now vintage McIntosh MC-501 Mono Blocks Nice amps my front end is a Oppo/Modwright UDP-205 Disc player/Dac/Streamer/ With Modwright PS 9.0 Power Supply using a vintage Philips 5R4GYS This combo just dose every thing right with vintage Tesla 6922 tubes in the Oppo , my Speakers are the now vintage Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature in Blood Red Finish with cardas internal wire , also have Daedalus Audio Ulysses V.2 Speakers ,  also I have a stereo set of Velodyne 15-DD Subwoofers Stunning really!  most of my Cables are CCAC From Mel I have been using his cables for over 15 years fantastic! Silver cables , I also have a Wywires Umbilical and a few Audio Horizons Transparency power cords from Joseph Chow, and a few Audioquest IC's and power cords, this is where I ended up(FOR NOW) on my long Audio journey thanks for looking 
  (Update) I bought a set of Sonus Faber Amati Homage speakers in Mid spring I am very pleased ,Also I forgot to say I have two twenty Amp power lines from my Breaker Box to my System with two Hubble wall outlets dead quiet!  (Update # 2) I replaced my McIntosh MC 501 Mono Block with Pass Labs XA-100.5 Class A Mono Blocks 200 watts into 4 ohm load seems to be more than enough power for my Amati Speakers and my room , I would buy another McIntosh I would love to own there Big Tube Mono Blocks MC 2301.

    • Sonus Faber Amati Homage
    A near mint set I got from A Audiogon Member serial number 230 A & B, Better Highs and midrange than my Tyler's Acoustic Linbrook Sigs.
    • ModWright LS 36.5 DM Preamp
    Fantastic Tubed Line stage with vintage Tubes, A perfect Match for my MC 501's
    • Velodyne DD 15 (Pair) Subwoofer's
    Although I don't use these fine Subs very much there set at 8 out of 99 for volume and the EQ is flat or under they still ad A killer punch below 24Hz Amazing I am running out of my Preamp to line in and then I split the signal into Left & Right input so both run Full Mono from each channel
    • Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus Cables
    Top Line Silver Cables outstanding sounding , Speaker and between amps also from my Oppo
    • Oppo/Modwright 205 disc Player with PS 9.0 power Supply
    Already a nice player taken to the Next level by Dan Wright you have to spend crazy Money to get better sound!
    • Pass Labs XA-100.5 Mono Blocks
    I never thought I would Replace my McIntosh Mono Blocks , I was Blown away the best Iv'e owned so far
    • VTI Manufacturing Pro Rack with Amp stands
