Nice pics, DarkAngel. You are so right when you say that cappucino/espresso is the elixir of the audio gods. Makes everything sound better. Thanks for sharing.

Red, Joe
I had a suspicion that many audiophiles are expresso freaks. Although it may seem expensive to spend $300-400 on good expresso machine, I drink 3 cappucinos a day. At $3 each at Starbucks I will have paid for my own machine in 1.5 months.

I usually watch the 50" TV with sound muted because I have the main stereo on constantly and they are in the same room as pics indicate (but seperate systems)

At night the lava lamps, neon sculptures, and sometimes candles
give a cool/erie atmospheric effect.

Have you gotten anymore "dark" music? I have to digest all the ones I have purchased recently.

The main system uses MF A3cr preamp to feed the two MF XAS100
amps. I run the amps in "mono" mode so one amp drives the right channel and one amp drives the left channel, therefore each speaker has its own amp (these amps have stereo/mono switch)

This can get a bit tricky, so you should know what you're doing before attempting something like this.

The speakers are PSB Gold-i (gloss black)

I did own a MF XP100 preamp, beautiful piece of gear, but sold it when I tried the A3cr preamp. Dual mono choke regulated power supplies and several other features gave it sonic edge. I reluctantly sold the XP100 at Audiogon
