Description:: |
It took me 40 years
but I now have the system of my dreams. I started with
the usual kits. Dynaco mark 70 and mark 3's then on to
Haffler HD-500 and the like.
I have been in love with Vandersteen speakers for 30
years. I started with the C-2 then the 3A Singature
and now the 5A Singature.
I'm a fan of tube Pre-Amps. My VTL TL-5.5 brings the
breath of life to my music. The Mullard tubes are, in
my view, the best the world has ever seen. You my have
your fav but this tube is mine.
BEL, aka Brown Electronics Lab {The lab is actualy in
Richand Brown's Livingroom}. These are the best AMP's
I have ever heard in my 40 years in this crazy hobby.
I have owned dozzens of AMPs and heard hundreds if not
thousands of AMPs over the years. These are the AMPs I
will take to my grave. Ok, I realy like the AMPs so
shoot me. Richard Brown is not an eazy man to work
with. It is his way or go buy some other AMPs. No joke
the man is insane about his AMPs. It took him 8 months
just to "tune" mine. He plays
each AMP in his own system and "tunes" them
to his standard before he will ship them. |
| Music
Preferences: List All: |
I have 2 Bolts CD600
racks filled with something like a thousand CD's now.
I like all most but not all types of music. RAP comes
to mind as one type that will NEVER be played in my
Musicroom. I usualy play something New Age first thing
in the AM then move on to something 100 years old or
so. Grin |
