My audio system
 
Hello,

I am relatively new as member in AA.

Bit of my background, I was introduced with audio since I was 10 years old by dad when I grew up back in Indonesia. The stereo sytems was Technics Tape Deck with Technics Integrated amplifier with Pioneer speaker which I could not remember the exact model any more.

Fast forward around 1 decade after that, I was started into workforce and I bought my first audio systems started with Denon CD player, Rotel RB 1080, Rotel RC 1070 and BW DM602S3.

Top up another 2 decade after that, at present,I am running 2 stereo system, but only 1 is being setup atm, while the other set are on storage, waiting till my house renovation is completed.

Here are some photos on 1 of my setup:

Welcome and very nice first setup. When you're all set in the renovated place we'd love to see the second too, those 800's included :)

Audioraven 08-09-2017 02:58 PM

Sweet system King! :drool::thumbsup: We don't see those PMC's very often here in the USA.

GaryProtein 08-09-2017 07:50 PM

Very nice components!

I know you'll enjoy your systems once your house renovation is complete.

Audio 1 08-09-2017 07:59 PM

Beautiful system and a mighty fine selection of components :thumbsup:

phunge 08-09-2017 10:27 PM

well done, this is amazing!

Blueoak 08-09-2017 10:33 PM

May I recommend some Vicoustic panels behind your speakers on that beautiful brick wall.

Jerome W 08-10-2017 02:52 AM

Superb system and room !
Thanks a lot for sharing.

King 08-10-2017 03:51 AM

This is only temporary room so the system might not be located permanently here. Room Treatment definately is on the plan, thank you for your suggestion.



Temptation is too big, I visited my storage and open 1 box of records and enjoy a cup of tea with this.

This is a short clip, it might not show the actualy sound quality but just for fun. Credited to my Iphone 7.

Pardon the mess

Very nice King. Great equipment and a clean setup and sound. In my experience brick actually makes a decent diffuser and may not need much in the way of treatment.

PMC should do more marketing for NA market, this speaker is amazing and need to be heard to believe.

I won't know anything about this speaker if I had not came to one of the local audio shop to audition a cable Tellurium Q Black Diamond. I notice a pair of twenty5.26 was being run and asking about port/ATL that caught my eye. Since then I came back couple of times to listen and it really hooked me. I end up buying a pair of speaker instead of a pair of speaker cable, no regret.

I thought I should update my thread. It has been a year since my last update.

We have been planning to renovate the house last year including a dedicated listening room, however execution has been very slow and I am still here using the original room, but with the fresh gear :D

Some of this gears suppose to be opened for the new listening room, but I could not stand and feel they are wasted on the storage, better enjoy them.

Most of my gears have been upgraded. I have sold my Jeff Rowland, Accuphase, PMC and B&W 800. After many months of audition done, I settled with DD/AR combo with 2 pair of speakers, Magico M3, and little BW 803 D3. I use BW atm for me to enjoy while we wait till the new house is ready.

Here are some photos:
Amplification when they are arrived :banana:

I was surprise I found a very nice print manual, not many gears now come with manual, they expect us to print ourselves from website :icon_thumbsdown:, Well Done "Audio Research".

Setting up the tubes are easy and straight forward:

It is silver, after long consideration, I end up with silver, and my local dealer charge more for black.

Yes I agree, so far, tube count is only few hours, need to push more for run in.

This ref6 could be staying on my system for a long time.

This is the second oldest gear on my system.

My audio research has passed 100 hrs. It is getting better everyday I listen to.

the combination Chord Dave->REF6->Progression turn out to be well matched and sounds incredible.

I made another clip at REF6 100 hrs:
