Default Matt's system

Been here on AA for a while now, first as a lurker and more recently as a subscriber and occasional contributer. I am a novice at hi-fi, but have loved music all my life. I bought a (well) used MA6100 with period XR7 McIntosh speakers when I was in high school. Enjoyed them for over 20 years, and THOUSANDS of hours before this recent upgrade:

This is the 1st iteration of the new setup:

- Pair of MC501's, bought new when the 601's superseded them.
- 1st gen 800 Diamond speakers, bought used
- C2300 pre
- Oppo95 source
- Kimber 12TC speaker cable, Hero Copper balanced interconnects

Love the sounds I am hearing. So new, and such an improvement.

As I mentioned, music is a lifelong love. All kinds. Rock, blues, folk, bluegrass, jazz, occasionally classical and opera. I know a number of us here enjoy making music, so I thought to share a couple of the goodies that share the living room:

- JTM 45-100. KT66 chimey goodness, a Marshall that sounds like a ballsy Fender. Yes, this is the only one they made in white.

- Early (1969) 50 watt plexi. With rare, tall 4x12 cabinet with 25W greenbacks. Looks like an 8x10, but it's not.

- A motley mix of Hiwatt goodness. Why? Just because.

Enjoy!

PS -would be grateful if anyone could assist in getting the pics full-size.

Best,

Matt
