Room Size

apartment bedroom for now. like 12 by 14, thereabouts.

System Overview

This is my first real system, and it's nearly complete. It's taken me about two years to get to this point, and there are enough castaways to become a respectable system 2 soon.

Music Preferences

Every genre gets played and listened to. The main one's I gravitate towards are heavy rock/metal, lately, and relatively new for me, a lot of jazz. Hip hop, classical, goth, punk, acoustic guitar, vocal, grindcore, soul, r&b, dubstep, rockabilly,oldies, piano, country, radio pop, you name it I've got some of it laying around.

Room Description

My ghetto fabulous man cave.

Listening Impressions

Detail and resolution, texture and depth and tone, huge presence. It's pure heaven, and only likely to improve with more knowledge and more technology applied.

Other Comments

Magnepans and Ncores! WOW, what a killer combo. I want for nothing.

Components

Digital Source

Emotiva ERC-2 cdp. If you are in the market, you would be stupid to overlook this player. It is not bargain basement, it is a thoroughbred at ID prices.

Preamp

if you call it a pre. Warpspeed Optocoupler. Battery powered LDR. Sonic BLISS.

Power Amp

HYPEX NCORE MONOBLOCKS. You betta aks somebody.

Speakers

Magnestand modified Magnepan MMG with all the bells. Very easy on the eyes.

Subwoofer

EPIK LEGEND. Dual 12" opposed alignment, sealed box. a MUSIC MACHINE. Gives the Maggies that much needed punch and drop and ambience and blends perfectly, almost as if they were designed for each other. No small feat for a sub.

Other Components

Hypex Ncore amplifiers are the real deal. They are everything you could want in neutral transparent POWER. Bruno Putzeys sits at the right hand of Zeus. completed system (more to come) and pics are eventual.
