Retirement System
Hi Guys,
I must admit I have said before, many times, "This Is It" and know what, I always renegade and break my word. Until I had one big scare this time, worse than the Gall Stones/Cancer scare few years back. Realised that chasing gears has no end. And so, I carefully, planned, negotiate, audition, seek advises - good, bad and ugly, welcomed and in the end, managed to put up this system in a small room I can now called my mine. Yes, I've moved out to a bigger place (almost twice before) as children had grown up, needed more space, privacy (and me too ... ha! ha!). Actually, I have put up 2 systems, one smallish vintage/Hybrid - at least in name, something I always wanted to own. I will come to this in a later thread. So, the Retirement System comprises of the following: 1. TW Acustics Raven GT se (copper platter) with 2 arms. 2. An Ortofon RSG309 Japan latest 12 inch tonearm, to which an Ortofon SPU GM A95 Anniversary was mounted. This is for stereo playback. For mono, I had the TW Acustics 10.5 arm mounted with a Miyajima Zero mono cartridge. both routed to the Devialet build in configurable Phono Stages. 3. The trusty older Oppo BDP105. I did not go for the Darbee version as this is so new, it seems like a waste to go for. Yes, eventually, I will do the upgrade when the current player breakdown , but not now. The Video/CD will uses the excellent Devialet build in DAC. The SACD output direct into the analogue RCA of the Devialet. So, I have the best of both worlds. I have thought about having a Esoteric K-01X, but after careful consideration, I would give it a miss as my main music playback are Vinyls, plus my SACD collection is not that much at all. 4. For standard playback, I have the, for now, a T Loan Audio Note CDT2/II, again, the DA will be the Devialet's. I will get the Audio Note CDT3 set up when its available. The difference are the innards and the playback resolution is so incredible - for a machine that's very less spoken or reviewed. 5. Power conditioner is the Audience aR12, which I have plans to replace to the higher spec Audience aR12TSS. Of course all string together with Audience AU24 SX series. 6. Devialet OdA, serial number 077. Simply one word - Nice. 7. Last but not least, a birthday present (from myself) a pair of Raidho D-3.1 Burl finished speakers. Delivered on my birthday - yesterday with a small birthday card signed by Lars (2 of them, Venning & Kristensen) and Michael B. They are still being "run-in". 8. All house in a Solid Tech rack. Inexpensive and beautiful. No regrets getting this. 9. Separately, near the sitting chair, is the Sooloos C15, where I now selectively kept 2TB worth of music files. Forgot to take this picture. My apologies. 10. The TV is a 65 inches curve, previous model JS9500. 11. A KL Audio 200 disc washer, coming in. So, here's the pictures taken to share. Hope you like them. Cheers
