Sc00ter's System

[Sc00ter]

Hello, all! I'm sitting here tonight listening to a recently-acquired copy of Joni Mitchell"s BLUE, and Wow! talk about using your voice as an instrument, the song "My Old Man" is absolutely astonishing! Anyhow, my system's in a 20' x 30' listening area, with GoldenEar Triton One speakers driven by a 1st-gen Creek Dynasty integrated amp. Turntable's a dual-platter Bogen/Lenco G62 with OriginLive OL1 tonearm and Zu Audio DL-103 Mk.II phono cart. Speaker cables are MIT Magnum M1.3 (I'm looking for Magnum M1.3 RCA interconnects to create a matched cable loom). A Marantz SA8001 SACD player and Sansui TU-919 tuner round out the equipment list - I've not yet made the leap to a digital server. I added CruzeFirst Maestro outlets and Sablon Audio Gran Corona & Corona Reserva power cords this year, and am still absolutely mystified by how much of an unexplainable, positive improvement they make. Audioquest Fog Lifters and IsoAcoustics Gaia II isolation feet help openness and detail, too.

That's a nice looking turntable! Congrats on the system.

Thank you, yours as well! Our listening rooms are fairly similar: walkout basements with French doors and faux wood floors

Hi Scooter

I have to agree that is a sweet looking table!
I used to have one their amps - built to last
Once I get my Golden Ear Reference speakers updated I will finally plug my old updated Kenwood KD-550
back in and enjoy some Analog again haven't played any records since I got my DCS DAC
can't wait to start listening to music again!

Nice! I’ve been following that GoldenEar Reference update chain, but I think I’ve decided to stick with my Triton Ones for the time being. Let us know how your References sound with the updates!

This is the old and the new
Can’t wait to install!
