system is complete!
« on: June 04, 2004, 06:42:01 PM »
speakers arrived today.  von schweikert vr-2s.  thanks nick

i'm blasting tongue n groove from 2-15-03 kimock and damn, i feel like i'm there again.  this is incredible


edit:
been listening for an hour now to all sorts of stuff and recordings seem to have new life.  ones i thought were muddy before seem much more defined now in the low end.  and the high end just sings here.  

 there's a hornsby tape i did in sept 02 that i like but i thought was a bit "roomy".  but now it seems VERY tight. man, i may not leave the room tonight...

I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

What I want to know is whether or not you're thinking of keeping the Benchmark :)

>>scott, what are you powering these with?  whats the full system?<<

audiogon is my friend.  got me stuff for less than half price (and in the case of the cables, like 80% off)

Arcam AV-8 pre
Arcam p7 power amp
Arcam dv27a dvd/cd
vr-2s biamped using 4 channels of the p7
benchmark dac-1, though i may sell it if i like the arcam sound better.  need time for the speakers to break in before i can decide this i think.
various audio magic interconnects and speaker cables.  the speaker cables are unreal

eventually i'll use the old tannoy mercury m2's for rears, but i just don't have room for surround at the moment

your system drips with high-end lushness!

the A.Hazelwood finish on those bad-boys is real, real purdy!
I'd love to hear it sometime if i'm ever in NYC.

big +T to you Scott, on all accounts.

Since all components were purchased through Audiogon, were they from authorized dealers?  Warranty still good?   Very nice gear btw!
