Jesus I don't even want to see what that power cord cost!! -
The amps have a non-removable power cord which appears to be very high quality.
2 runs of 8 gauge romex back to the panel... should be solid!! (goes crosseyed)- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
thats actually an interesting photo. It is very similar construction to the transparent reference wire ($20k msrp) that I had to work with (royal PITA)

Damn! And here I thought my 80 amps of dedicated circuits were overkill! Can’t wait to see your review of these monsters. -

I think my shelf reinforced the house... 100 Simpson strongtie lags about another 90 in hardware and massive lag bolts right to the studs
I did add a 4x4 and a jack post under the left grande. The right grande sits on a solid cinder block wall- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
I had a feeling a jack post was involved somewhere. Good thinking!
That's dedication.

So I have had them playing for a couple hours and so far am very happy with what I am hearing.
This old mark Levinson gear is the real deal man. Hard to believe these are 30 years old.

Trey, please allow me to be the first to offer you a congratulations along your audio journey. That sounds fantastic. I know, videos don't do ANY system justice. With that said...
We have been speaking throughout the evening and I can tell (even through a cheap cell phone recording) that the last time I heard your system, compared to now? NICE.
SO VERY NICE.
Enjoy your listening! I, for one, can't wait to listen to your rig again. I'm proud of you broskizzle!!!

Another good song is off the Allison Krause live SACD called "Forget about it" that stand up bass really digs deep.Post edited by pitdogg2 on

Folks, please keep in mind that he JUST got this system and hooked it up. It has yet to gel and even get acclimated to the rest of the system. The best is yet to come.

Agreed.
That said.....if you are still up? Play "Where there is smoke". By Domnique Fils-Aimé.
You can thank me whenever. Most of her albums are well recorded/mastered.
