Pantela Naga Pampa, Glad to hear you have a cool wife with a high WAF. Me too. My Wife and I are going to spend a week in San Antonio and Austin for our 20th anniversary (We hope to watch TCU vs. Texas in the College Baseball Austin Super Regional...Go Frogs!!!) Sticknstones, When we moved to McKinney, people said that we lived in McKinney, Okla. a subarb of Dallas hahaha =)) My wife teaches in Sherman, 4th Grade. I work for a major aerospace firm in McKinney. We moved to McKinney 3 1/2 yrs ago from Southern Cal. when my daughters were 15 and 13. They swore that they would never go to a university in Texas and would go to college in California upon graduation...The oldest is a sophomore at TCU and the youngest is planning to go to SMU  You are doing a fine job as both of those schools are simply outstanding. Fort Worth is one of the best planned cities I know and the TCU area does not even feel like Texas. I used to play in a band and we played venues in the Greenville avenue area where the Mustangs ventured (SMU) and around Fort Worth one dive by TCU that did poetry readings by week and rock on the weekends cannot remember the name and there was the Pig-n-Whistle in Fort Worth that we played all the time (roof leaked when it rained and they passed a tip jar for the band, ah yes those were some days). Really good stuff and thanks for sharing. |

Some eerie almost parallels there. Oh and I have been looking at the VTI racks for about 6 months now, just haven't pulled the trigger on it. Pantala |

The USP-1 has arrived!!!!!! ;D After 5+ years I have the two channel systems I have dreamed about: Solid State System: ERC-1 CD Player USP-1 Preamp XPA-2 Amp RBH 1044SE Floor standing system Currently listening to this system with my set up disc that includes Rebbecca Pigeon, the Coryells, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It sounds awesome and I can't wait till it has time to settle. My initial listen to the All Emotiva system is astounding detail and accuracy. DO NOT PLAY POOR Recordings or your ears will scream in utter pain. Very tight and controlled bass (bass drums have snap). BTW, this is a relatively low volume (definitely not reference volume) I can only imagine the sound at a reference level. I did turn it up and there is absolutely no distortion. I will report more as I get more listening time with this system. I definitely feel like I am in the front row with the middle seat with this system. The Tube system: PrimaLuna Prologue Three Preamp PrimaLuna Prologue Six Monoblocs using KT88 power tubes Njoe Tjoeb 4000 CD player a tube buffer and a 24/192 upsampler Axiom M60ti floor standing speakers. mtak, All I can say is you have excellent taste, especially in CD-players! LOL, do you also have the Supertube Clock and the Siemens tubes in the Njoetjoeb? I bought mine used from a Dutchman who was upgrading to a PinkFaun player: www.pinkfaun.com/eng/prodothcdpic.htmlYour observations on the sound of the ERC-1 regarding the poor recorded CD's are the same as mine. The Njoetjoeb is sweetening the sound, as the ERC-1 is merciless. BTW, I am using a cheap old preamp in my 2-channel, because I am lusting for the XDA-1. Hope Lonnie is correct about the advantage vs the USP. Are you considering to swap the USP for the XDA-1? |
