_System Description in Marc's words:
"My system is built
around a high current Art Audio Jota SET amplifier and David Gill's
Alana preamp (with custom dual mono, 24 step Goldpoint attenuators),
along with Ars Aures loudspeakers. I am also using a pair of small Omega
subwoofers and Townshend supertweeters. The latter bits must sound very
"tweaky", but they blend so well, you would be hard pressed to locate
them as a source.
The OMA, slate plinthed Lenco / Schick/Denon are really a dream front end: They're rock solid in use, beautiful to look at (to me anyway :) and easy to work on if needed.
It's got the tonal character, refinement and pure drive that I had been looking for.. especially with my main listening being with a SET amplifier. I've added one of Mirko Djordjevic's titanium bearings and it was a huge upgrade. It is easily, the finest sounding deck i've ever had.
The cabling is from Townshend, Stereovox, Wireworld & Kimber. All I'd like to add, at this point, is a phono stage of comparable quality and perhaps a tubed repro amp for use with my Technics & Revox RTR decks. I run the digital stuff off of my laptop thoough a decent little USB Dac. "
