System pics 2013 part I

Stereo hasn't changed much in three years.

Sorry for the yellow tint (afternoon sun). The Lyra Delos and Mose Hercules are relatively new:

There was a big change to the power supply when I took the house off-grid. For the first year I ran everything off of the big white inverter below. But eventually I added some inductive opportunity loads that were triggered by a PWM signal. This caused occasional core saturation on the inverter, which in turn produced excessive harmonics on the AC line. To play it safe I put the sensitive stuff like the stereo on that Exceltech inverter.

So the stereo now gets a very clean AC sine wave.

Now that's commitment!

My Attic System which I have to thank pinkfish members for the advice in buying and setting up:

LP12/CD3.5/102/180/Napsc/SB/Kan2

Not the ideal positioning but it works well to my ears.

My god, I hope those shelves are good and sturdy...!

Hi Mike,

In the end, it should be above peace/love/mutual respect.
Should it not?. The reason I frequent here more then any other forum - is because it has a more universal feel to it, with music lovers of all races/walks of life/beliefs/countries.

And that my dear friend is " Cosmic ".

Peace - Mike.

When i first joined here the the Naim wars were terrible. Thankfully, there's not much of that going on these days but i was still a bit wary of posting my pic hence the cheeky warning. Besides, there's plenty of Rega in it for a bit of balance - haha!

Loving the Ergos jagdesign. New speakers arrived here yesterday:

 

[jagdesign]

Cheers James. What are the speakers? Also, is that a T-Amp I spy?

 

[James Evans]

Speakers are Ref3a Dulcets. The little silver box is a M2tech evo dac, powered by an avondale tpx pcb based psu. Amp is a diy rebuilt onix oa21. Hopefully soon to be replaced by a pass dcb1 and new ncc200 build, if I can find some time from somewhere.

I spot no pre there.
So it's Mdac into power-amp, that's clear, but what do you do for phono?

 

[jagdesign]

EAR 834P with volume control, jobs a goodun

 

[topa]

[jagdesign]

[harrisonfraud]

How do you switch between the MDac and the EAR?
