HHmmm.... getting there.... but....

don't get me wrong, my vinyl rig sounds good. but i still think i'm not totally "there" yet.

the system currently is as follows:

- ScottRT modded Technics SL-1600MK2
- Classe Audio DR-4 preamp. MM/MC phono stage
- ADC XLM MKIII, Pickering 1100S (basically a stanton 681EEE-S) or Spectral MCR Signature

two little things keeping me from being content. i have these DIY silver braided cables my friend made on my digital front end and from the amps to preamp. they sound AWESOME! they have this inexplicable touch of sexiness to them. i want to replace the currently soldered Petra locap interconnects on my SL-1600 with a KAB jackplate so i can try different cables.

and the last part i don't think i'll ever accomplish. one of the things i really dig about my ancient Theta DSPro GENIII DAC/Pioneer Elite CLD-79 digital front end is it's INSANE voltage. like 14V of gain! sounds like the band is going to fly out of the speakers!

i listen to a lot of hard rock and some metal. i can still blast my eardrums out with the turntable, but there's this "pent-up" aggression i hear that's really involving with my CD player.

see ya,
Robby
