Here’s a few blasts from the past....
main system..... new stuff not worth mentioning,,, very tweaky though. Think Yamaha 5000 Constellation & Wilson
The answer to this forums question..... see bottom of post....
“Other” main system
Yamaha C1pre, (2) B1amps..
Audio Research Crossover
Magnepan T4
Nakamichi TX1000 turntable
Nakamichi 1000P AD/DA 1000MB disc 1000DAT tape
SUPEX MC cartridge
Technics 1500 Tape (with J-Corder upgrades)
OPPO 205 disc
Pioneer DVL919e Laser Disc
various Straightwire & MIT Shotgun cables
i must say however, that it is not always a complete system working all of the time.
2nd system
GAS Thaedra pre.. (2) GAS Grandson amps.. GAS “The Bridge”transformer.. Charlie The Tuner.. (all reference upgrade by Mike B, originally “GAS WORKS”)
Magnepan MG3r.. 3 M&K MX70b subwoofers
Nakamichi Dragon CT table
Revox B77
Denon 5900 disc
I have a GAS Godzilla that’s dead, just haven’t got around to getting it fixed. Several (working and dead for parts) Yamaha B2 amps, with a C2x pre, As well as a pair of B&W Matrix 800s.
For those of you screaming BS (I would too), let me say, I owned a hi-fi store from 1980 until 1996, when my business partner embezzled almost everything. We were dealers at one time or another for all the brands above. When most of these pieces were on the floor for quite a while, I made the executive decision to take them home. ( I did reimburse the store for cost+shipping)
with all this Sh##.... in various rooms taking up A LOT of space. My Yamaha C1/B1 may or may not “sound” the best but.... that’s the system I find myself listening to the most and “feeling” the best when I turn it off. Believe me when I say, you can spend as much as a house for audio, and still come back home. I’ve done it.
