Sound System

This current setup was born in 1996. It consists of an Arcam Alpha 7M (modified) CD player connected to a Luxman amp via Kimber PBJ interconnects. (See more of the modifications in Arcam 7M modifications)

The front-end is a pair of TDL RTL3s biwired with Monitor Studio Silver cables.

System as a whole: A value-for-money setup with loads of bass, Bass, BASS! Clarity? Satisfactory. Stereo-imaging? Deep. Treble? Bright but not too aggressive. Midrange? Good. Bass? Duh.

Music tastes: Mainly Rock/Pop (see the "CDs" and "song reviews" section).

Overall sound improvements over the old 1993 Sony/Pinnacle system:

  1. Deeper, deeper and more POWERFUL BASS
  2. More open, greater sound stage
  3. More warmth, less clinical
