Here we go. These two systems are always in flux. All the custom stuff uses Lundahl transformers which I think sound the best. I have experience with others but I come back to Lundahl repeatedly. The dacs and my heaphone amp both use Lundahl transformers. I can't wait to upgrade my K&K Audio phono stage to the hotrod version. Once again, for a price like $75.00, you can't beat the quality. The new dac has been so much fun to use. I still use last years dac which I think sounds very good but the RAKK is clearly better. There is remarkably more resolution and focus. I have been experimenting with power conditioning for a couple of years and am still unsure about what each component does to the sound. I'll let you know in the future. The balanced power transformers and the differential filters are Jon Risch designs. They work in my system, especially on the front end. I feel as though you have to try these sorts of things instead of just talking about it. The big chokes(Richard Gray style) are brand new.

Main System:
Sony DVP-S7000
Toshiba SD-2109
RAKK dac passive output
Magnum Dynalab FT101A
Tascam 102
Micro Seiki BL51
Grado reference 'the reference'
K&K Audio phono preamp (hotrod soon)
Stevens and Billington TX102 w/Seiden switches
Custom built speakers(Vifa 5.5"mids, sealed and 1"silk dome tweeter w/Eclipse woofers, ported)
Custom built subwoofer(Eclipse isobaric floor loaded woofers)
Sonic Frontiers Power2 (Sylvania Gold Brand 5687s, Bugle Boy 6DJ8s and Svetlana 6550s)
balanced power transformers with differential line filters
AC line chokes in parallel L to N
Custom power cords
Silver Sonic wires

Headphone system:
Rotel Rdd-980 cd transport
Burr Brown pcm1704 based dac (Dave Gill designed digital board and Kevin Carter designed JFET and transformer coupled output, built by me)
Custom hadphone amp (designed by Kevin Carter and built by yours truly)
Sennheiser HD600 and HD650
