some past and present favs

Sony D-5
the original portable CD player with a battery pack that took 6 C-cells! I was so cool in high school....

Harmon Kardon HD500
HK's first CD player, in champagne. Wish I still had it

Adcom GCD-575
boy, did that sound good

Harmon Kardon HK230A
just love the way it looks, and it's so small

B&K ST-2020
absolutely LOVE this amp, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Energy C-2
great speakers--true 40Hz extension from 6.5" monitors

Wireworld, Ultralink, and XLO/VDO wires/cables
decent prices and will have something in their range to work with any system


My first "real" system, in 1988, was:
HK230A receiver
Pioneer CT-2121 tape deck
Sony D-5 CD player
Homemade/hacked speakers w/ 10ga Original Monster Cable
It actually wasn't so bad--sounded way better than it should have
I still have the receiver, tape deck, and speakers.


The first system I was really happy with:
HK 6500 integrated
Adcom GCD-575 CD player
Denon DRM-700 3-head tape deck
KEF C-25 speakers
Monster Interlink 400 on the CD player
Original 10ga Monster speaker cable
To my ears at the time this system was quite good and only committed errors of omission.
Still using the integrated and speakers in the A/V system.

Of course, my current components are listed in the inmate systems.
