Title: Let's see your Channel Islands Audio gear!
Post by: Nordkapp on 24 Mar 2020, 12:24 am

It seems to me that the CIAUDUO products fly a bit below the radar in general. Maybe they are too reasonably priced to attract the headlines? Maybe there aren't enough gold accents adorning the case work-HA! Anyway, I'd love to see other CI systems in all their understated glory. I'll lead off. D200MKII & VHP-2 w/VAC-1. Lets have some fun with this!

It's not much to show, but then the boxes aren't very big in the first place.  :lol:

Here's my still-new PEQ-1 MkII, patiently waiting on its AC-15 MkII power supply upgrade:

And these well-loved units are looking for a good home: my old VPP-1 phono with VAC-1 power supply, and my old VDA-1 DAC and VAC-1 power supply, the latter pair both modded by ModWright:

Definitely vintage... VDA•1 and VAC•1 were the very first CIAudio products released over 20 years ago!

Alright, already, I admit it. I'm old.  :wink:

Makes me feel good that so many of our early products are still in use and making great music.
I grew up in an era where things were made to last, in fact I still own some of the gear from my first system, which I purchased with money earned from delivering the newspaper on my bicycle.

I figure I owed Dusty an updated pic of the PEQ1-MkII with its long-awaited and very-much-worth-it upgraded AC-15 MkII power supply:

Still using my VDA2 in my headphone setup.  Sent the unit back to Dusty in 2014 to be upgraded and have enjoyed it ever since, great bit of kit :thumb:
