    Some nice systems here. I have been fooling around with this stuff for quite a while. What is shown is two parallel systems, one for video (and audio support for video) in the equipment racks- mostly ARC tube amps, an old Meridian processor, HD Leeza backbone for DLP projector, with SDI output from cheap, hacked DVD player.
    The analog system is of somewhat higher fidelity, and is strictly vinyl- Kuzma TT/arm/Steelhead phono-pre/Lamm Ref. Pre/Audiopax 88s, running a pair of Avantgarde Duos. If I had the room, I'd use horns for the theatre system.

    Here's a close-up shot of the TT/Air bearing arm. THe compressor is located in a separate room, running on a different AC power system.

    Norm,

    Are those the N802 or N803's?. Looks like you are running the Proceed HPA series amp next to the Center Channel.

    My 1st high end experience was with B&W speakers, a set of 802 Matrix's and I was immediately hooked. We are house shopping for a larger one and I told my fiance that I WILL have a home theater again. Fortunately she is game for getting a really big HDTV but we'll see what she caps me at ($$$)..hee hee

    Mike

    Compressor drives air bearing tonearm at 65 psi. Power is supplied by 2 independent systems- for the theatre system, 240v step down to 120, with Richard Gray AC conditioners; for the audio-only system, 60 amp dedicated subpanel running to Hubbell 20 amp outlets, all power cords by Shunyata.

    Hi Mike,

    The audio side of the system is N802's for the left and right, an HTM1 center channel (not the new HTM1D, unfortunately), an ASW 855 subwoofer, and 4 Signature 7NT's for the surrounds. A Proceed HPA3 drives the front and two 2 channel Proceed amps drive the surrounds. Video is a Dwin TV3 HD projector, and the screen is a 126" Stewart Studiotec 130. The front end is a Marantz 8400 DVD/SACD/DVD-A, and a Direct TV HD into a Proceed AVP2+6 processor- nothing fancy, but it works for a basement media room.

    All the best
    Norm

    Holy Crap!! There is NOTHING like a nice set of tubes paired with horns like that. You've got a true audiophile system there!
