well the preamp changes between the gsx or the ca2, but the power amp is the Adcom gfa545,dynaudio 122 speakers,old mit IC's,cardas speaker cable,and either using it as a computer audio rig or with an old naka cdp I got for free. like I said its the old stuff I didnt sell yet... and as far as headphone amps go I can easily switch out any of the "extra" ones I have laying around..

I have been down this road before I say yes, one setup should be balls out reference rig! the other is the left over shit that didnt make the cut from rig one..and your to lazy to ship or sell well thats my second setup anyway.

btw: i love the third pic.... Death is final is awesome! what amp is that?

dude your bashing it and its not even out yet, nobody knows whats its actually going to be yet... deserves? it does not exsist on the market yet.. all your doing is proving here to everyone on a free forum your a psycho towards him. a psycho that really needs to get off Rays balls, you obsessed with talking him down, your doing it now to something (i say something cause I have no idea what the B-52 is going to be) with the only thing you have... which is a name..your ripping a name? are you kidding me? its a freaking name of a product. lay off and wait until the B-52 actually comes out, then go take some photos,post them on northwestern's site,write up a schematic that looks like a 5 year old drew,and continue on your way like you always do... I understand it may be a hobby of yours to do this and I dont care if you do..just wait until you actually have a product to do it to.

post pics of these and the speakers and ur "rack" all in thsi thread for me... please btw: congrats man..how does the speaker cake taste?

Listen I don't care if you have nothing better to do then just stick on someones cock and suck it everytime they come out with something (or in this case..about to) to the ground...shit really KG i couldnt give a shit.. but when you start bashing something I created then I got a probelm... Do not let me hear you say anything about my b-52 name again please (I am asking), bash the w/e its going to be like everyone knows your going to do anyway...but leave the name alone..thats mine... with respect I hope you understand...leave the name out..thats me not Ray.

Well if you want just the big case to make up for the small size in your pants then go sds-xlr... I asked Mikhail at the Chicago Meet why he put the amp in such a big case.. "cause My customers want A big case.." that's a better answer then I could of thought of..But its true..it holds to the SP way, as in Give the customer anything they want..(regardless if its a sonic purpose). I never heard one (hopefully one day) so I am not saying its not the best, for the cost and the place in the SP line I believe fully it could/should. Not sure if I can call a top ten but the top two amps that should share one spot is the HR2/RAptor (my hr2..only mine..modded). the HR (balanced max I think?) big momma..either know I can not stand the HR sound (its just me, regardless of my personal taste I respect its sound).. The rkv amp I heard should be on there but sharing the same spot with the Wheatfield..(tuberoller's model..with grados) then again now that I think about it..the maddest should be listed with headphones also... Like for me the rs-1 natural born amp is the sr-71...(just the rite combo to me, I explained it many times on headfi..so search why) ok now back to our regular scheduled Gilmore/single power cock sucking and Ray Bashing this forum is becoming known for... Are fuck Ray...lol

Ray is always working on a bunch of shit...its like hi hobby and most of the stuff never makes it to final production.. I wouldnt believe the crap out there sofar, but I did name the b-52...lol hehe

The Apollo I tried was fully burned in..its the store policy when they get a new cdp in stock they leave it on for a week strait.. they had the apollo for awhile when I tried it.

I listened to the Apollo recently at a audio shop here for about 30mins of dedicated Sensaphonic>sr-71 listening. Its a nice player but it aint no ground breaker, and comparing to my G08 I live with Its sounded harsh (digital sounding man..),cheap (Heard better for cheaper..much cheaper),short (no real depth),shady (the bass had absolutely no depiction..everything was a one note bass), and to quick (the song just flew by..no time to relax and enjoy)... Of course I DID NOT GO INTO THE DEMO COMPARING THE G08...after all anybody with a fucking brain would NOT COMPARE a $4,400 top line (maybe "rated" is a better word) unit against something in the $1k that just hit the sales floor..let alone anyone with a fucking brain to listen to one of the units at a noisy meet and dare throw a rock at the king (sort of say..yes there is much better of cdp's out there..). I thought the Apollo was indeed a fun CD player and to me it is ReGa's best yet by far, hell I thought of buying one in the future...enjoy it for what it is..I budget cd player that should give you many of moons of happy happy listening...but don't throw rocks at the king (again sort of say)..I know your excited and all.. Now I am thinking of the Apollo in a second setup, but I would rather wait to see what the used price in some time goes to..knowing Rega it shouldn't hold much value (then again what does)... and to your "ATLEast with the apollo.." wording... I actually found myself more nit picking the unit cause of its harshness and when I got my G08 in all I wanted to do was get more music (cd's)...In fact thats the only major difference I remember when I first got mine in...in other words I wanted more music cause maybe of the addicting way the g08 had?..not sure.

dude Even with no mod rules here I am not going to say it...in fact maybe thats what you should do also.

anybody invite rnb? god I would love to talk to him with no mod protection..... I know he has a ebay name someone can contact him by

if your looking at diy kits look here http://www.gr-research.com/kits/av4.htm http://www.rawacoustics.com/ These guys are getting huge personal reviews on AC! I would love to build one of their kits but I want something that goes in the low 20's if I do anything. also since you were looking at pricey book shelves look at the Dynaudio speical 25...they are books and go into the 35hz range...thats more then a full sound. You have a decent distance between you and the speakers, I would personly would go floorstanders. I have dyna's but their are so many out there..

to nismo Hey man...whats up? LOL

On terms of your sound from the speakers..what do you want more of? what do you want them to sound like/do? Those speakers are very different from eachother. will you be using a sub? how important is Fq response? how large is your room? how are you going to have them setup? distance? sound treatment?

Ok background:I demo Dynaudio 72se last year sometime in my room and fall in love then order a set. by the time the set came in I completely came up with a new idea for a room..in which time of the same week the Speakers came in I remodeled my room with thicker ceiling tiles,carpet,cables,cartridges,bpt thingy,etc Well since I always like to get new gear in I have this problem with actually having the time to sit down and take the patience to get the placement rite and the acoustics. when everything was said and done I had a completely different room and did the most moronic thing I could think of..I completely switched the listening position and speakers around to the other side. this lead me into a 4-5 month stand off with them. I was fighting the acoustics,power,furnace noise (55-60 db of crap facing my ears instead of my back),the window on the side of the "new genius speaker location" was rite next to my POND outside (with three waterfalls working 24/7),also the window faces the side of the house with the A/C thingy is,the power on this side was not even funny and It was impossible to run a dedicated A/C line on that side,I could still go on about how this one side of the room was cursed no matter what I did it sounded like crap! the side was so bad I had three different type of room acoustics applied and demo..if something did pro it had a huge con of that..every room treatment could not make this side "come to life" without to many 2nd and 3rd reflections and the Bass nodes on this side were impossible to altar. I finally gave up after I had the side of the room almost ceiling to floor in absorb panels..I kept one out of 4 set of AURALEX treatment I had in at once...the side was so Dead Even the Dead couldn't hear it..yuck Well Fast forward to autumn and winter of last year... Year autumn I get out of the speaker and Vinyl life and go nuts on headphones..not sure why but I do. anyway So I sold my Speaker amps (they were Dodd mono block 50watt el34) and bought a old cheap Adcom amp just to get by with until this spring when I knew I would get back into it... well that Day of me getting back into it came yesterday but it was not by my choice,..mostly cause I bought new amps (the AES/Cary sixpacs balanced) and had a gsx preamp.. So yesterday I decided to move everything back to the original side and not stop until I had the perfect placement and acoustic treatment. It only took a good 9 hours but what I got now is soooooo amazing..omg I will post pics later on and more info. the treatment I have up now is just the old Auralex panels I cut in half and doubled on the corners to control the bass into the middle instead of sticking out to the back walls. the first reflections are dealt with by a fake rose plant on one side and a small thick rug on the other. I know not the best looking but I went from 0 to 2000 mph in one day..amazingly I did. I moved the speakers about 60 times then toed them in 5 each way after that..I settled for the best overall performance with a tap of live end to the front. the bass and the front wall needs to be dealt with this I admit. I need to get some corner traps and I have a 10X10 piece of extra carpet from the install last year I am going to cut and hang on the front wall, I only want some diffuse going on without a lot of absorbing (absorb equals death). after the 9 hours of setup time I went to work but left early cause I had it..I had heaven and I needed to listen. I got home like 10pm and listened till 5am at very low volumes (omg the sound at low volumes is to die for). I probably still toe the speakers sightly towards me but...I will be giving up sound stage...i will wait to mess with them..in fact I am not touching nothing (regarding speaker placement) for awhile. It the type of sound that you'll hear everything you can imagine just great, not perfect but overall its great and it has a really wide left to right so you get a lot of pan'ing effects easily, but the speakers are toed in and you get a 6-7 inch center location with of course anything in between the speakers and the center location. a lot of sounds hitting you for the floor or up high. Tomorrow I will listen for about 6 hours then re set up my vinyl rig...and cut that piece of carpet I have (as soon as I find it). Its freaky really how it all just snapped together and became heaven, all this work and next thing you know you got it. I was sitting there yesterday after work looking at the speaker rig listening like I was watching an action movie...i didn't know where what would come next you know? It is sooo good that after I shut everything down at 5am I listened to headphones for another 2 hours...thats how good it was..OMG I been up for 25 hours strait..I got to sleep but I cant...must listen one more time....yes no...I can sleep when I die..I need to listen its sooooo amazing people..sorry but I finally am happy after all the moving around and this and that. Btw I cant really comment on what a single peice of gear sounds like cause of the new placement..i will be able to switch out single stuff later..not now I dont wanna touch anything. yeah I mean later I set up my vinyl Rig, Vinyl + Speakers equals omg omg heaven. Ok goodnight

I second him and also Reynman or was that Raynmen,,,himmmm

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: thank you, had to get that out of my system...

Bubblegum... The pink Ice cream with little bubblegum pieces in it... it was a favorite of mine since childhood Kind of hard to find it now but Its still out there.... yummmmm Bubble gum ice cream

yelp i agree

the Dyna's are the 72se's, the mono's are AES/CARY Sixpacs(got them last night). The Go8>GSX>SIXPACS are all true balanced.. The Rega>xr2>GSX>sixpacs are of course un balanced.

Dusty....I was joking....or was I?

You guys know My rig changes twice a week..always got something coming in. this is pics of 1 of three rigs I have.

only when provoked.. If I get hurt then I use patience to anayzl my target..when i get my chance I strike..again only way I can do this is when someone is very close to me and hurts me. the bad part is alot of people get close and some hurt..

Hotdog's in the summer...Chicago hello? sending moronic customers to aisles that do not exist in the grocery store job (if they ask me where something is) kick people out of my life for almost nothing (again I am Scorpio) after I kick them out I make them feel like a ghost...like nothing (read above) sleeping...I do this alot..it passes the time Never being happy for long with anything I have, must find new, must reinvent myself acting like a pirate panache... running around randomly with my arms spread wide making sounds as if I were a airplane smiling,,,this is something I can not go with out for longer then 10 minutes finding people weakness and exploiting the shit out of them (again Scorpio and only when provoked) having no one understand me, or what I am truly thinking (sometimes I dont like this) Long drives alone challenges..obstacles singing Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra while intoxicated Walking...only when intoxicated blaming myself for shit I don't even do yet helping people I don't know and wont have to get an thank you afterwards i love buying cloths..but usually don't do this as much as I like the best thing as in a favorite is....... every mourning when I take a piss (well after actually) I look in the mirror and flip my lower lip down and see my Tattoo "howdy" and laughing first thing in the mourning every day..so pointless but yet so rewarding..lol
