That gear is very impressive, but Nipper finishes it off nicely and needs to be forward a bit more. I'm still trying to find a smaller scale Edison type player or gramaphone to go with mine.

Nipper now sits on a 3' podium dead center behind the amps. He seems much happier now.

I will update the pic soon.

Speakers: Wilson Alexandria series 2
Amps: Pass XS-150 dual chassis Monoblocks
Preamp: Pass XP-30...upgrading to XS pre.
Phono Pre's: Allnic H5000(tubes), Pass XP-25 solid state
Turntables: TechDAS Airforce 1, Clearaudio Master Innovation
Reel To Reel: United Home Audio Phase 11s w/outboard Power supply
Digital rig: PS Audio Perfect wave system (I listen mostly to analog vinyl and safety master 15 ips RTR)
Cabling: Nordost Odin full system. I also use MIT MA-X Super High Def for speaker cable, in addition to Odin speaker.
That is the bulk of the system. Phono carts include Koetsu Coralstone, Tiger Eye and Dynavector XV1t. Lyra Olympos for mono record playback.

It has taken a few years to get the system fully sorted.

Probably 33% classic rock pop (60's-80's), 30% Classic Jazz standards (50's-60's) and Classical 20% from the golden age late 1950's...rca living stereo releases. The rest is digital..Grateful Dead and other bands I recorded live.

That's nice and all, but can you stream bluetooth music from your phone?

ive been a hifi audio enthusiast, understanding its worth the cost it to have certain hi end equipment(although theres such a thing as over doing it) but one thing i could never justify was the cables.

just looked up the price of the Nordost ODIN power cable... sweet fancy moses!!!

especially when the music itself was probably recorded on 40 dollar cables to begin with. lol.
