Hi everybody.

 

Hifi enthusiast since more than 20 years, I'm 40 now, already owned Cinema Grand Signature with Grand Processor 3, and finally back to a 300x2.

 

Lot of speakers were paired with it, like ESS AMT 1B, ESS transar atd, Soundlab Audiophile 6, Zu Definition mk4 and many more, still own all of this and many more ... Today it drives Dynaudio Consequence, with Gryphon Sonata premp, mainly.

 

Sources are Day Sequerra FM Reference Panalyzer / Krell DSP / Wadia 6 / Eversolo DMP-A8 / Studer A810 and EMT 950E.

 

PS Audio P10 & P5 and Clear Image Audio T4 takes care of AC quality and stability.

 

Even with Cello full system as well, Performance II (2 pairs, 8 boxes 😎 ) and Encore 150, Suite and Palette, this little Sunfire is still surprising ! 

 

It will last as my forever amp I guess, as my ESS AMT 1B !

 

Pleased to meet you all.

 

Nick.

I don't think you have enough equipment in that room. 😁

 

Nice setup!  Looks like a great place to just listen.

[crvt 28]

Thanks. 

 

There is ! Many more, just does not appear on the pics.

 

Ess amt1b will be the "until I die" ones because it's the best price/size/shape/weight/efficiency/design/musicality combination. 

 

Love my zu def4, also the omen MK2 with undertone. Utah guys rock !

 

Sounlab audiophile 6 are amazing also !

 

The dynaudio consequences are sculptural ... 

 

Watt/puppy 3.2 are a bit darker, just need to shake them well with tons of power. 

 

French vintage monitoring sound with the Elipson 4040, pretty true when well paired.

 

Also the very enjoyable Analysis audio Omikron.

 

And soon, a pair of freshly rebuild (as the audiophile 6) Soundlab Pristine.

 

I globally love them all !

 

When I was 15, in 2001, I've been to Utah for 5 months, in Springville, discovered later that Wilson Audio was 10 minutes drive from my place ! 🤣 Didn't had enough money nor place in the plane anyway ...

Nice inventory!!!

Do you use a different speaker for a specific type of music? 

[crvt 28]

Thanks. 

 

Not really, just changing them sometimes, depending of the season.😊

 

Of course, if I just want to rock the house, I will plug the Zu !

[Receiver2000 4,944]

I heard the Dirty Weekend at an audio show a few years ago. Pretty impressive for entry level. Not sure if they still make them.

[jeffs 3,568]

Wow!

[AndrewJohn 11,160]

That is a collection !!  

 

Clearly, you knew that we, here at TheCarverSite, LOVE PICTURES!

 

Excellent.  would love to spend a day in that room!

[crvt 28]

Thanks again. 

 

Here some more :

 

 

 

 

This room is my every morning pleasure, sometimes more !

[crvt 28]

Told you, depending on the season, it changes.

 

[crvt 28]

 

That's all folks ! For the moment ...

Those Levinson Cellos look heavy!!!

What are they? Are those two amps and two power supplies?

 

Nice inventory. I would find no reason to ever leave that room.

Hello cvrt and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us!

 

What a great collection of gear, and thank you for the pictures!  I have a question.

 

When I pass on from this life to the other side, is it OK if my daughters ship my urn and ashes to rest in your audio room?

 

Thanks either way.

Hi.

 

The four block set of Cello's is Performance II amp, composed of two mono amps and two power supply. 

 

I have two sets of these, plus a pair of Encore 150 (with handles) and Palette and Suite with one common Master power supply. 

 

That's a lot of Cello, but I'm selling the perfs because the Encore are enough and eight boxes for around 400lbs total is ... Big. And takes some space ...

Why not, but it has to be an acoustic treated urn, with internal damping for your ashes ! 🤣
