    PC's current system...

    Shot some up-to-date pics of the system last night. It was too late for daylight, so these are aligned layer stacks of ambient & flash frames in Photoshop, with a small Curves move & stripping out any color contamination. Not perfect (there's a skosh of extension distortion in the first two photos from the Fujinon 8-16mm f/2.8), but they'll get the job done...

    Harbeths, of course...





    The current streaming setup; a mix of optical fiber and copper Ethernet


    The totally bad-*ss Shunyata Denali 6000/S V2 on a Butcher Block Acoustics hard rock maple board, which it really likes (don't put it directly on carpet! )

    Very nice PC. I notice you have the very nice Denali 6000 decoupled from the butcher block as well.

    I like the statue (in the second to the last photo next to the race cars) the most though.

    His preamp now is the First Sound. He used to have a Conrad Johnson CT-5 if I remember correctly, but that was years ago.

    I still have the CT-5. The First Sound is on a temporary loan from a friend.
