    my SRTs are all stock. i sware

    LOL.......right ;)

    There are so many damn PT Cruisers where I live, I mean in just 5 minutes driving you see 1-2 of them. On average I spot about 30 a day!

    It's just that a Chrysler dealership just opened up out here last year, so other than just PT Cruisers there are a ton of 300M's. I've yet to see a single GT Cruiser though other than my own!

    When I rebuild a 2-channel rig, I'm thinking I might step it up to MIT Shotgun S3.3

    Have you heard the MIT Shotguns? If not, you're in for a real treat!

    Yeah, I ran 2 pairs of Shotgun S3 interconnects in my last rig...and even sold a pair to Lee on the forum. Just thought I'd step it up to the 3.3's if I need a pair again :p

    Haven't heard their speaker cables though, I'm afraid to! lol

    The good news is while they sound fantastic, I can tell you that your ears eventually go back to appreciating whatever cables you have in your system. The bad news is that you always know in the back of your mind that your system can sound MUCH better.:eek::D

    That's how I ended up buying some! :p

    I was running Audioquest IC's until I borrowed a pair of S3's! Well, it wasn't long before I ended up with S3's in my rig lol

    When I plugged them in, I thought I had a whole new stereo all over again and it made me appreciate those Magnepans+LSi7's much more!

    Nooooooooo lol

    If you grab some, go with enough for just a 2-channel rig.

    Not saying it wouldn't sound sweet in HT, but you shouldn't hear too much of a difference since you don't listen to HT as critically as music do ya? :p

    Any time I listen to music on my HT, I think, why cant the SRT's sound as sweet as my 1C's? then I realize it has a lot to do with using an AVR vs tube amps, cabling and proper placement for SDA imaging. It's just the way it is with HT.

    Music on an HT rig yeah I can imagine.

    If I had a dual purpose rig, the IC's going from avr/pre/pro to external amp would be the S3's while the IC's for all other channels would be something along the lines of AQ or SignalCable II's or better.

    I miss my 1C's, man they were SO MINT. Even the original boxes+foam. And damn did they sound sweet!

    Hey Doug, are your 1C's upgraded IE RD0's/X-O/etc?

    Yep, RDO's plus all sonicaps and mills on the XOs and granite slabs. Also got a set of Ei EL-34 tubes from F1Nut that I need to roll into the amp before the meet.....I'm currently running stock tubes.:eek:

    I've got some dynamat waiting for install too.

    Oh wow, can't wait to hear it!

    Thinking of going small though for the next rig. Speakers will be Monitor 10's, speaker wire will be Bens Silver speaker wire, interconnects will be MIT Shotgun S-series, might go with Pangea power cords if not Signal Cable and a tube integrated (EL34's maybe?).

    Not sure about source yet.

    Well, I have put together a couple of systems I'm very pleased with....but that's taken me over 10 years. Look how much you've done since joining the club in July of this year! :D Plus you have more posts than me now.:p

    They ain't cheap!

    You can spend significantly less if you buy last years S3 model if you really want to. I'm just a little anxious to try out the current S3.3 cables. ;)

    Oh hell, that I wouldn't mind!

    Funny you mention that, I was thinking to myself just recently that I'd love to shave off a ton of weight. It's got potential but at 3,400lbs it's pretty damn heavy!

    4-500lbs huh? Sheesh, what are you trying to make of it...a sleeper?!

    Will need to remove the GT and 2.4l Turbo badging :p

    Oh and I never told ya, I bought a custom license plate. Waiting for DMV to send me my letter via mail to pick them up which is an expected 8-12 weeks.

    I got 'Z3RO LAG' :p
