Tom Newell- All Tube System

Thumbnail for Modwright Sony 9000ES - Modwright Signatue Mods. Currently using NOS Amperex 7119 tubes. Gingko Mini Clouds provide vibration control.
Thumbnail for Software - Library consists of about 500 LPs, 75 SACDs, and 1,500 CDs. All but my favorite CDs are stored in a closet. Vinyl collecting started from scratch about 9 years ago. I had sold off my entire 1,500 LP collection back in the 80's and had to start all over. Huge mistake!!!

Listening is about 75% vinyl, 15% SACD and 10% CD. I'm addicted to buying LPs from Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct.

Thumbnail for Moscode 401 HR- Hybrid Tube Amplifier - Moscode 401HR with NOS 6H30PI-DR tubes. The NOS tubes are way better than the stock Sovteks.
Thumbnail for Moscode 401 HR - Replaced the beautiful Cary V12R. This Amp has the midrange of an all tube amp, but has slamming bass and extended highs as well.
Thumbnail for VPI Scoutmaster Signature/Shelter 901 - I recently upgraded to the Signature Arm Wand and a Shelter 901 cartridge. This was a major improvement over the standard arm and Dynavector 20XL. The Gingko Cloud 11 really makes a huge difference under the VPI table.

I just added the VPI phono cable to the system. This relatively inexpensive cable is shockingly good for the money.
Thumbnail for Audio Racks - Gear includes VPI Scoutmaster Signature, Shelter 901 Cartridge, Modwright Sony 9000ES SACD player, Aesthetix Rhea Phono Stage, Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage, CAL CL-20 CD player, VPI SDS, Dali Euphonia MS5 Loudspeakers, REL Stadium III Sub, and Shunyata Hydra 8.
Thumbnail for Room View 1 - The Dali Euphonia MS5 speakers are the latest addition to the system. These speakers are drop dead gorgeous and sound amazing!!! 
Listening space is 16 W x 23 L X 9 H and part of open space floor plan. Soundstage is wide and deep. Bass goes deep and is very articulate.
Thumbnail for Gear - Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube Gear with VPI Scoutmaster. I just started using some new Mullard 12AX7 tubes made by New Sensor in the Aesthetix Calypso along with some NOS Early Russian 6DJ8 tubes. 

These new Mullard clones sound very good and are extemely quiet.

Thumbnail for Dali Euphonia MS5 with Outriggers - Just installed these Outriggers from Soundocity. Very nice improvement in sound and looks.
