Cable Inventory

Various NBS cables.

Power-Related Components

My main theater setup has five dedicated 20 AMP circuits running solid copper single wire in greenfield setup. It was recommended and it seems okay. PrePro lives on one circuit, Power Amp another, Oppo another, Sony OLED on one, and I can't remember what is on the final one.

Other Audio Equipment

Computer sound setup:
Computer optical out to a Cambridge Dac Magic plugged into a Sunfire Theater Grand III Prepro feeding a Rotel RB 1070 amp powering B&W Nautilus 905 speakers. It works for me.

Normally I listen to headphones via a Chord Mojo.
I also listen to my computer with a Geek Out 450 Headphone amp/DAC which I adore.

In the big room I have an Anthem Statement D2 feeding a Sunfire Theater Grand Amp, driving B&W Nautilus 803N, 805N, and HTM1 speakers. Above this floats a 65" Sony OLED TV. Now featuring an Oppo UDP-203 connected up to the Sony and a dedicated computer for music and what not. Yeah Oppo! I also have a Squeezebox Transporter connected to this system.

I another room I have a REGA RP-10 with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Cartridge. This feeds into either a PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter for making 24/96 recordings of my vinylor my n NBS Universal II Preamp, Universal II Monoblocks, with the NBS Universal Power Conditioner. Speakers are a fab old pair of ADS L710 Series II with a twin REL T/9I Subwoofers. I now have a dedicated music computer feeding a PS Audio Direct Stream Jr. DAC feeding into the above system as well as an Oppo 105. It's pretty swell. It's hard to leave the listening chair in that room.
