Wasatch's 2 Channel Rig

[Wasatch]

It's taken me about 3 years to get to this point. A very big change from the Rotel/B&W gear This Jun/Jul will be another upgrade on the Analog side with a GT Ref Subplatter, Rega Tungsten Counterweight, Dynavector Cart, Manley Chinook, and some SR Basik Power Cables. Just picked up the Joseph's for Christmas. They are quite a few steps up from the B&W CDM 9NTs they replaced. A more realistic midrange, some more detail, more natural sounding. A very nice match with the Manley gear. I'm very very happy with this new setup in it's present condition. Really looking forward to this summer though.

Cool...Manley and Joseph Audio make some underrated gear. Be interesting to hear what you think about the Chinook!

Thanks. I've heard some very good things already and looking forward to getting one. It's right in my price range for a phonostage.

Looks like that room offers hours and hours on end of listening pleasure. Nice rig.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those black LP shelves?

Thanks, I definitely can sit there for hours enjoying music, lol Those selfs are from IKEA there called Expedit, the bigger one goes for around $60 I believe, the smaller one I believe $40.

Love the setup. Nice and spacious environment as well, which has me grinning with envy. My own room is very small (about 11x10) so I never really have the opportunity to open up my gear...maybe one day that'll change. And a big thumbs up on the Ikea Expidit LP bookcases. I'm using 2 of those myself.

Thanks. I was using the long walls until last weekend, when I switched it around. WAY BETTER! I was using the short walls in my other place, but when I moved here I thought I would try the long walls, well it did sound pretty good, but too much bass (sometimes) and I was sitting to close to the speakers. Well I had enough of that, lol By doing this change I set myself up for some bigger speakers, I think, LOL Yeah, I like those shelfs, wish they made a single row of 4 though.
