    Hi Geoff,

    Here's my present setup...

    Main system:

    Sony TA-E86B preamp, heavily modded - sounded good before the mods; sounds wonderful after modding; great clarity and dynamics.

    Belles OCM-200 power amp - terrific sounding amp, very natural, open, slightly warm.


    Second system:

    Sugden C28 and P28 pre/power amp pair - less detailed than the main system pair, but lovely fluid, dynamic, rich sound. Wonderful combo!


    Wish list includes an Onkyo Integra P308/M504 pre/power combo that I heard at someone's house - amazing clarity and effortless dynamics...quite startling really, I had no idea Japanese gear could sound so good (ingrained bias at work here).

    And one of these days I'd like to try tube amps

    Best,
    Svend

    Some of you seem to be collectors! Personally, I like to keep my possessions to a minimum, and keep my Audio budget in my current system. Although, I’ve got thoughts for a second, tubed system for the bedroom.

    I’ve still got my Adcom 555, over 30 years old now! It probably needs a going over before I sell it, I broke the speaker terminals off many years ago from over tightening, and soldered the speaker wires directly to the terminal bases, so, I’ve got new terminals for it too.

    And an Adcom preamp, remote control with built in tuner. Not the last word in detail but it’s matches very well with the amp, it’s already been gone over and recapped. It too is over 30 years old. I gave the amp and pre to my daughter, but she has given it back since.

    Then I recently got a Parasound Halo 3 preamp, (if 5 years is recent) lots of inputs, very nice remote control pre, I’ve been meaning to replace it for a while now, it’s the least of my present system, but I like it so much I haven’t found what I want to replace it with.

    And I bought a Forte’ Model 3, and got it in perfect condition for a steal of a price, and it has served me well, and is also in need of selling. I upgraded my speakers to these big Legacy Focus’s, and the Forte’ wasn’t up to the task.

    So, I finally bought my present Krell FBP-300, and got an excellent price used. It’s the amp I’ve always wanted! And has no problems knocking these Focus’s around. I’d really like to try a pair of Martin Logan’s and see how it sounds through them.
