Michigan - Any Interest?


If you are a Audiophile or Audio Enthusiasts in Michigan, leave a post stating your location, whereby those in your area can contact you if desired.

This hobby is more fun with others to share and compare with!

I live near Kalamazoo, which is a little less than an hour south of Grand Rapids.

My name is Phil Jolette and I live in Kalamazoo.

System:
Maggie 1.6
Rogue 99 Magnum w/phono
Plinius SA100 MKIII
Sony DVP-S9000 ES
Linn LP12/300B/Grado Sonata
Acoustic Zen wire
VenHaus power cords
silk ficus tree behind speakers
Vibrapods

sound:
My setup is a little thick in the bass and a little thin in the highs and lacking in 'scale' and dynamic range or the space to really sound 'open' (room dimensions: 13x22x8) but it has a nice ability to focus in on any instrument and offer a nice portrayal that is reasonable in conveying their own space and a cushion of air around the individual instruments which also have a nice 'inner glow' or 'sonic signature' that makes you focus on them and not the stereo.
The sound is seamless from top to bottom and this helps me focus on the critical midrange without distractions from driver differences. The source components are the weakness of this stereo.

I would like to hear the latest Sound Lab speakers and have an interest in OTL and SET amps and Lowthers (single driver) or similar high effeciency and crossoverless speaker technology.

I hope all your aural dreams come true :)

AKfest is well worth the trip and very fun, a nice setting too (of course hotel rooms can only be so good) recommended!
