My System

My system is always changing but as you can probably tell, I like the Sansui most.



All the equipment sits on a dedicated audio isolation platform. "ok, a bit of white chipboard on 8 mid-range drivers hahaha" Plus I have some old Christmas lights underneath to give that retro glow. 

Its a very narrow room but I love it, I'm sitting right up close and playing at very low levels. The soundstage is massive and theres no booming bass, no echo, hardly any room noise at all. Theres also loads of "stuff" in there which must help defuse the sound. I often test stuff in the front room aswell but the sound is never as good.

 

Above is a pic of the IMF TLS50 speakers undergoing drastic modification to somehow improve their dull performance. Using an 8" 1960s Russian full-range driver as a tweeter, very smooth and open but lacking in detail. 

On the right: a collection of bits I picked up a few years back. 18" Goodmans audiom drivers on the left and a pair of later 18-p. Celestion County speakers on top of some homemade jobies and of course TDL RTL3 on the outside.

Left: Sansui AU-919, Technics RS-9900. Middle: Pioneer SA-9900, Sansui CA-2000, Sansui AU-9900. Right: 3 x Sansui BA-2000 power amps.
