Albert Porter's System
Focal Grande Utopia EM in black finish

Analog music sources, Technics SP10 MK3 and Studer A810 Archival half + quarter track IEC and NAB.

Digital music source is Macintosh Mini, OCZ Solid State HD, Amarra Pro, Pure Music and Play software.

Allnic H3000 and L3000 pre and phono into a single pair of VTL 750.

Computer USB cable to Ayre is Purist Audio, all other cables are Purist Audio 25th Anniversary, plus Proteus Praesto and Purist 25th Anniversary AC.

The entire space (18' X 31') is acoustically treated with RPG panels and/or fiberglass over triple reinforced walls and ceiling. Floor is lamination beams over steel plates and two 5/8 epoxy floor. Above that floats 1.5" of concrete and half inch float for India multi color slate tiles.

All the reinforcement and acoustic treatment goes unnoticed, due to Whisper Wall rail system and fine textured acoustic cloth covering everything. In these photos (and often in person) it passes for painted sheetrock.

Room was designed by RBDG. The entire space was torn out to bare dirt floor and open studs nine years ago.

Thanks for looking.

Albert,

nice picture of the NVS with the larger halo. i liked the look with small halo; i like it better with the larger one.

glad you finally have the NVS in house, and look forward to your impressions when you get around to it.

Happy Holiday's to you and your family as well as congrats to your son John on his graduation from Texas Tech! that is a big deal!

John is traveling home from Texas Tech today! I'm excited about sharing Christmas with both he and his girlfriend, Kensey.

Thanks for praise of the NVS shot. It was VERY cold when I unpacked it so I put a fan on it and let it sit for a couple of days until all the "mist" was gone. I don't know the circuit design but I've learned it's smarter to let everything settle in before hitting it with wall voltage.

The last few days I kept the motor running at 33, then at 45. Everything seems to be in perfect order, the new packing was superb. Looks like they went over the top to insure no more issues with rough handling.

I should have music from the NVS soon, maybe next week depending on Christmas and a bit more time on the Talea to insure I know it's sound before moving it off the MK3.
