If you are willing to allow fellow AC members into your home to audition your system, please add a post to this thread that contains your city of residence and a description of your system. Any information beyond that should probably be exchanged via PM or some other private means.
Hopefully, this will give people a chance to audition systems or components that they might otherwise not find at a local dealer (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=12207). Thanks in advance to all posters for displaying such openness and generosity!

Well, I have gone thru a major re-organization and created a full-blown home theater. My fiance & I converted an upstairs rec room into our theater. Added walls, insulation, sound-treatments, custom stage, drapes, valences, new carpet and lighting! The system itself has remained stable, although I did have to do a few :beer: upgrades! We have added a Panasonic PT-AE900U HD projector, 106" 16:9 motorized Mustang screen, SVS PB-12 Sub, and the new Directv HR-20 HD DVR :deadhorse: .. nothing beats TIVO... If anyone would like a viewing, it is enjoyable to allow others to come in and absorb all the hard work we put into it, and even get some feedback for future improvements. Just drop me a line thru this posting and we'll go from there! Photos available upon request!

need everyone to update their systems. some said they like to host get togethers here, all you have to do is set a date and time and call for rsvp. we'll be glad to brings equipment, drinks, snacks.

I just updated my system except the only things I've added include the Dodd preamp and the LG BH100 dual format Blu-ray/HD DVD system. My "interests" have also switched over to high definition video. Combine that with lossless audio and I'm in HT heaven (just saw a blu-ray demo of Peter Gabriel; awesome stuff).
I can certainly host a High def movie night if anyone's interested (Cowboys in high def is awesome, except when they lose to the Pats :( ).
Except I have an unresolved system integration issue. I need to figure out why my amps keep shutting down at less-than-extremely-loud volume levels for uncompressed PCM movie soundtracks. I'm blaming the player because it only happens with the LG BH100 analog outputs, except no other BH100 owner has this issue. Using digital audio to the pre/pro has never caused serious problems but no lossless audio, only DD/DTS available through this route). It would be nice if someone would bring over a couple of uber power amps to see if I have wimpy amplification (both my Classe CA300 and CA400 amps shut down) (hint).
I noticed there is now someone relatively close who has a very intrigueing HT room (but no Blu-ray player ?). I live in Fort worth near Ridgmar mall and I don't know anyone else closer than Los Colinas who owns a 100+" screens.

Located in Austin
Actively bi-amped system with a single ended 300B amp running the horn and a push pull 6550 amp running the bass. The speakers are Altec 288 compression driver with low mass diaphragms on 1939 RCA Worlds Fair Horns for the highs and Altec 416 woofers for the bass. The preamp is a transformer coupled design using 12B4 tubes. The front end consists of a Thorens TT and a music server running into a MSB DAC. All of the tube equipment is custom designed and built. All of the commercial equipment is highly modified.

Actually, I'm in the very front room in my house. You can read about my room saga in this AC thread (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=45367.0).
You need to stop by sometime for a listen. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Geez Lee, didn't realize you moved! Hope all is well for you and yours in Utah....
nrenter, are you in the Metroplex?

Much different system Lee (simplicity) that I heard last time. Seems the horns are the same but the midbass and sub bass changed
-
Geez Lee, didn't realize you moved! Hope all is well for you and yours in Utah....
nrenter, are you in the Metroplex?
Yeah, due to the wife's medical struggles over the past two years, I had to move closer to her family so I could lean on them for some assistance with her care during recovery.
Nick is in Flower Mound, real close to where I used to live.
Peace,

We'll miss ya here locally, be sure and give a shout if you're going to pass by our way in the future.
We'll keep you both in our thoughts and prayers for her recovery and the challenges I know you're facing..,.

Wow...I had no idea you moved, Lee. How close are you to Duke? You guys are each dangerous on your own. I you get together, make sure you use your collective superpowers for good, and not evil.
Not the same room as you heard my last system in. There was this office / dining room just to the left as you entered through the front door. I'm in there, now.

Ha! aa
Duke is about 2-3 hours away (I think) from where I live now. We haven't been able to get together yet, but we are going to have to soon. Duke and I have a mutual customer in Salt Lake City who has extended an open invite to both of us, I just need to make the time to take him up on it.

Well, I'm not in Texas, but was born close to the Lone Star State in Clovis, NM. I hope you will show mercy and allow an Albuquerque, NM boy the opportunity to invite anyone that is traveling through here or coming as a turista over to my abode to give my modest system a listen.
I have a, soon to be totally remodeled, listening room 20'4" long x 14' wide with an 8' ceiling. The system is comprised of a Cary 306 CD player, Cary SLP50B preamp and Cary CAD572MKII monoblocks, all of which are modified.
Speakers are my own MTMWW with vifa PL11's surrounding a ScanSpek D2905-9500 tweeter with Meniscus Eclipse W808R woofs. The vifas are in transmission lines and the LF section is a critically damped ported alignment. In room response is < 30Hz. Pretty astounding 8" woofers for not much money. All cables are my design with the exception of the old tried and true Kimber 8TC and 4TC speaker cables.
Power is via dedicated circuits with a Topaz 2.5kVA ultra isolation transformer that feeds an UberBUSS (naturally) that feeds the monoblocks. A PS audio P300 PowerPlant (again, modified) is plugged into the UberBUSS and supplies power to the 306 and SLP50B. Room treatments are on the slightly live side of dead and will be incorporated into the remodel instead of looking like the band-aids that they are.
Please, if you are coming through Albuquerque, send me a PM and I'll make time for you. I also have a BBQ grille that works year 'round.
Hope to see you soon,
Dave

The system has changed a lot in the 8 years since it was posted. So I am removing it.

Are the silver sevens driving your prodigy's?
The Carver Silver 7t mono blocks each drive one 12" sub both of which are housed in the large cabinet on the left side of the system. The Martin Logan Prodiy's are driven by the Ampilla 2000 mono blocks on the bottom shelf of the rack.

Hey guys,
No one has posted in here for a year or so, but I am interesting in hearing some of yall's setups. I am in the market for a home theater setup and want to audition as many speakers as possible.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know as well, my budget is around $4,000 and I'm looking for a full 5.1 setup + receiver + 2 bookshelves for another room that can connect to main receiver.
-
Hi Guys,
My system is slowly getting finished, or is it :duh: With a little bit of notice I am more than willing to share music with our friends and Audiocircle members.
Spectron Monos w/bybees and V-Caps
Black Diamond Music Vault
LampizatOr Level 5 DAC
CLS 9's (formerly Arthurs)
Anti cables

Art sold his CLS9s??? :o I am stunned.

Newb here.
I dont have an audio system that is worth mentioning (thats why I'm here) but I do have a pretty nice HT set up.
Pioneer Kuro projector onto a Dalite High power screen, Elite HT reciever, KEF iQ speakers, and my baby; a Def Tech Trinity sub.
Built my own sound absorbtion panels and they turned out nice. Spent a lot of time researching this set up and for the $ I think its great
You dont watch movies you live them.
However if anyone is into pinball I've got that base well covered :icon_twisted:
I'm actively looking for a set of used Von Schweikert, Vanderstten, or ? speakers that have to do double duty (audio only and 5.1 HT) for my new living room HT set up
Any advice would be appreciated.
-
Hey, I'm in West Texas and wondering if anyone in West/North Texas with a VMPS RM2 or the like would kindly allow me a listen? I currently have MB Quart bookshelves atop diy bass-bin sonosubs that I built to get the low-end, and would like to move up to actual full-range stereo speakers. Thanks
-
After "retiring" from the "audiphoole scene" (mainly because the AC crapped out in the HT room), I just got re-assimilated. "Browsing" the (Fort Worth) Marvin Electronics Closeout sale not expecting to find anything worthwhile, I was offered a killer deal on a used Mark Levinson No. 336 amp; I could not resist on an impulse buy. After auditioning the amp over the weekend, I decided to pick up the other two (2) ML 336s to complete the Multichannel setup. I did not know what good bass control was until I hooked up this amp to my speakers (Vienna Acoustic Mahlers). Perfect for an HT setup; even excellent for solid state 2-channel music. Still need to see how these will play with Dodd's battery powered tubed preamp for stereo music. I'm going to be revisiting multichannel SACD/DVD-A for now; non-operational display stops movie watching for the moment and I'm waiting before springing for new front projector.
The temptation is rising again to set up aseparate stereo setup for serious listening in another room; too much clutter in the HT room leaves very little room for tubed gear (i.e. Dodds preamp and Dodd's 100W tubed monoblocs are gathering dust at the moment; I'm getting tired of having to swap out speaker connections and single-ended vs XLR ICs everytime I want to switch between tubes and SS. All I need are TBD decent speakers and maybe a source player for the other (probably living) room.
House is a bit of a mess but if folks want to come visit for informal music listening, I'm willing.
Oh yeah, what to do with "mothballed" Classe amps (CA-200, CA-300, CA-400) ? :D
-
I'm more than willing to demo some gear if anyone really want to hear anything in my systems. I'm in NE Fort Worth (pretty much Watauga), and here are my systems:
Living room (14x24x10):
- Decware ERR (radial loudspeakers)
- ST-70 with Wellborne Labs driver board and Curcio Audio BCS (Bias Control System)
- Peachtree iDecco
- iPod Classic filled with .flac
- Denon 2200 universal disc
- homemade IC's
- Tara Labs speaker wire
- Blue Jeans Cable digital wires (Coax and Optical)
Back room:
- The Advent Loudspeaker
- Dynaco ST-70
- Sumo Andromeda Mk II
- Audio Research LS-2
- Denon 2200
- Pro-ject 2 Xperience classic (Blue Point No 2 cart and MF V-LPS phono stage)
- Signal Cable IC's and Speaker wire
(My "work bench" is in this ~ 10x10 room with various parts, and another ST-70 with its guts all over the place, so it's kinda a tight space)

So glad to have you guys chiming in.
I'm waiting on my speakers (hopefully within the next couple weeks), but once they're here and set up, I'd love to have anyone over that wants to come listen. Though my system is not even close to a megabuck one.
I'd also love to hear you guys' systems as well. I went over to listen to some music at Albert Porter's house, and it really sounded amazing.
-
Albert's system is a must hear! The Allnic DHT phono stage is amazing!
LordCloud, what speakers are you getting?
I am in the Dallas Design District, listening to all DIY junk! ☺️

Your "junk" looks damn good (That didn't sound right)! I'd love to come and have a listen. My experience with horns is limited, but I really want to expand my horizons.

Thanks Guys for liking my DIY junks, I am constantly experimenting there are a lot more wires and plywood breadboards in my system now than in the pictures!:D
Dieterle Tool, welcome to the hood! just send me a private message when you are settled.
Lordcloud, So you are getting a pair of Dr. Arther Loesch EP-1s, I am interested in hearing them, I was lucky enough to purchase Dr. Loesch Tango Permalloy transformers before he pass, he told me he is a big fan of the 10" Tannoy drivers but I don't remember which cabinet they were in. Also had a pair of 300B and 50 convertible amps of his design, but now I have modified it from a 3 stage to a 2 stage amp. You are welcome to come for a listen.

Yep, I am getting the last pair I believe. They're being very slightly modified.
My next amp purchase, which is far down the road, will more than likely be off the tubed variety. Before I got my First Watt F7, I was leaning towards tubes. The Atma Sphere S30.
I'll definitely come and listen. I'll send you a PM.

Looking forward to it. How is the brick-n-mortar seen in Dallas (man I used to love the smell of new equipment)?
LordCloud, It's gonna take a good tube amp to pull you away from that F7. The EP-1's look intriguing.

Dieter, Sorry have not been to any audio store for years, so can't offer any suggestion, we used to have several high end stores but most are gone now.
I prefer going to audio shows to hear new gears. Lone Star Audio Fest in Dallas is rather small, happens first weekend in May every years, don't know who is showing this years but always nice to greet old friends and meet new.

I've been to a few stores here: Hi End Audio in Plano, Audio Concepts in Dallas, and John Fort Audio in Richardson.
Audio Concepts is my least favorite. They're the least hospitable, and you don't get a good feeling being there. Though it's a very nice shop, and their events are great.
The owner of Hi End Audio is really nice, and I liked his shop a lot.
John at John Fort is great. He'll talk music and equipment with you, and let you listen to a bunch of stuff in the store.
Yeah, I think I'll be happy with the F7 for a long while. Probably getting a tube amp in addition to it.

You're very welcome.
Yeah, driving around DFW is a bit of a hassle sometimes. I've been here almost three years and I don't know my way around, as well as I'd like to.

Hello Gents,
While I am not a true B&M, I am in the metroplex and operate out of my home. My company is AudioThesis and we were at LSAF this year. There is actually quite a bit of high end shoppage in the area, but many do it like I do to keep overhead low. Only those who have been in it for 30+ years with established clientele bases can survive the B&M scene.
I do this now full time and you (or anyone else) is always welcome to come over for a listen. Scheduling is key for me as I have four children at home, but I like nothing more than having a few drinks and listening to music with company.
With that said, I'm already playing the hypocrite and saying I currently can't take any in-home demos. I need a few weeks to reset my systems and also receive more speakers from Rosso Fiorentino as my demo set did not make it home with me. After those are received, I am available for demos. I can do in-home demos for gear of interest as well.
Cheers,
Skip

Greetings North Texans,
I am somewhat new to the area, (moved in June to Allen, Stacy & Watters) and looking for some help setting up my TT. Although I have a novice grasp for what I am doing, I am having trouble with cartridge alignment and/or resonance issues concerning my suspended floor, audio room. Is there any local aficionados that would be willing to come over and help me out? I would barter a delicious meal and a wee dram of scotch for some guidance.
Sincerely,
Dieter

I'm in Mansfield. Unfortunately, I'm in an apartment so it might be best to plan for an afternoon.
