What Is Your System Comprised Of?

[braxus]

I for the life of me cannot find the original post on this site that a poster asked what you have in your system(s) as far as components. So I guess I'll start a new thread. My system has changed quite a bit in the past month or so with new pieces. And I am running two systems. One as the main setup and the other as a secondary which is used for my home business for transfers, etc.

So I'll start off by listing what I have. If you want to post pics that is ok.

Here goes:

Main System-

Rotel RC 995 Preamp
Rotel RB 1070 Amp
Kenwood Surround Unit (forget model number, but its from the 80s)
Thorens TD-147 Turntable
B&W 602 S3 Speakers
Luxman T-102 Tuner
Sony SCD-XE670 SACD Player
Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD Burner
JVC HR-S9800 S-VHS Deck
Aiwa XK-S9000 Tapedeck
Aiwa XK-009 Excelia Tapedeck
Tandberg TCD 3014 Tapedeck
Akai CR-81D 8-Track Recorder

Secondary Business System-

Denon PMA-900V Integrated Amp
Energy C200 Bookshelf Speakers
Sony RCD-W500C CD Burner

I have plans to get down the road a Magnum Dynalab 102T tuner, a Mac C220 Preamp, a Mac MC275 Amp, two Rotel Power Conditioners (1 for each system), and a set of B&W 804S or 803D speakers. And for the backup system I'm looking for a Pro Hi 8 Deck and an ED Beta Deck.

Units I have currently with no system to use in are:

Luxman K-112 Tapedeck
JVC TD-R611 Tapedeck
Pioneer SX 2300 Receiver
Radio Shack Bookshelf Speakers
Hitachi VT-S751 S-VHS Deck

I love mine, it fits in perfectly with the rest of my system. Mark, the owner and builder of the Juicy Music products is a hell of a guy. I bought mine thru A-gon and he told me to send it to him to check over and he'd replace anything for free. I sent it to him and he installed a diode if I recall correctly and fixed some inputs. He also marked a tube that was going south all for free within a week.
Look on the garage sale section of the Klipsch forum they come up once in a while. They're very popular with the Klipsch crowd.
