I've been into audio since the late 80's.
Lurk and participate on most of the forums.
Just met Luke Manley at a VTL product showcase night at a local shop, that was cool.
Current rig (this week lol)
silver circle pure power 5.0 power cond.
Naim NDX streamer.
Wadia transport.
PS audio Directstream DAC.
Vinnie Rossi DHT preamp 300b.
Atma-sphere S-30 OTL amp.
Autoformers.
Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers.
2 REL subs.
Zenwave cabling.
Highly damped room, I like hearing first-fire, not room resonance.
I get a kick out the pictures of beautiful $100K systems with not a lick of room treatment.
How's your walls sounding?
Micheal green says make your room work for you, not against, like an expansion of your speaker cabinet.
I suppose he's right in the sense that no matter how much room treatment I use, I still can't eliminate the room totally.
How you gonna do that practically? short of buying a total room kit from him.
Also not using and will probably sell a totally bammed-up OPPO 105/ modwright/ASI with Dexa neutron star clock powered by an outboard battery and quite a few more upgrades.
Oh, and I like to mod things too but hard to find the time. My long-time speakers were Thiel 2.2 of which I rebuilt the crossovers and put them into an external box. Adagios are really not any better, both are great
