Topic: Finally, temporarily done with home system!

[jpschust]

Well, its taken a while, but I've settled on a  playback system for a while:

Panasonic POS CD/DVD that im using just as a transport > Bel Canto DAC 1.1 > AMC CVT 1030 Tube Pre >  Belles 150A Power Amp > MIT interconnects > Magnepan 10.1 QR's

sorry dont know what happened- there was supposed to be more to that.  ive never gotten such light and airy sound out of a system.  this really makes female vocals sing.  i coudnt be more pleased.

[jpschust]

sorry, the only digicam i had at my disposal is a part of my video cam and it sucks

[jpschust]

i lie i lie.  one of the mits is bad so i ended up getting some new cables :-)  i got some blue truth cables from www.bettercables.com  these guys are the shizzle.

[Lee]

wait, are/were those the MITs I sold you?

[jpschust]

yep.  

[jpschust]

dont think it was bad when it got here though, think my kitty chewed on it honestly.

[Lee]

I was about to say...

Glad to hear you've got it worked out, though.  A little tabasco diluted and spread around those cables will keep cats/dogs/babies away from them FWIW.

[jpschust]

the green or the red? :-P

[1st set only]

tabasco is weak! get som habaneros and grind them up in yer coffee grinder add some water and then watch them stay away. I say this because I tried tabasco on the rug that m dog was chewing when she was a puppy, she thought it was a treat.

[jpschust]

my kitty has stayed away for a long while now.  i think, honestly, its because i wasnt playing with her enough at the time and she got naughty

so you're liking the Bel Canto?

[Todd R]

so you're liking the Bel Canto?

Ditto--you liking the AMC tube preamp?

With all you've got it matched with, you're giving it a better home than I ever did.

[jpschust]

i LOVE that tube pre.  I've got the telefunken tubes in there now.  mmmmm so sweet.  between the warmth of that tube, the clarity of that dac, whew such a beautiful system.  i couldnt be happier.  wait yes i could- a center channel a sub, 2 rears and 2 middles.

glad it's all working out for you Jonny!
