Hi,
Receiver- Denon AVR1403 (5.1)
TV- Samsung 29"
DVD player- Samsung E138A
Speakers: All home made ones, cheap but very effective. Fronts have Peerless drivers. Still working on the rears and centre channel. Subwoofer: Two 8" Bolton subwoofer drivers mounted on opposite ends of the box. Again home made amp to drive the subs.

For two channel music, I have a pair of floorstanders made from Vifa drivers in an MTM configuration. Home made amplifier and Philips CD player.

Cheers,
Vivek

Vivek you DIY everything?
Rudra though said it best. for home audio 2 channel is still good. we oldies it seems hardly watch movies.

Navin, I try to do as much as I possibly can. Real cheap, eh?

yup. my audio system....
Marantz CD Player (modded Power supply and cord)
Home made preamp using Relay switching and OP 275
Home made Power amp using Hitachi Mosfets
ScanSpeak 18W8546 x 2 midbass
ScanSpeak 2905-9900 Revelator tweeter

Work in Progress
----------------------
new cabinet for speaker using push-pull
line level XO with tube EL84 based power amp for tweeter

Only the speakers on my Home Theater system is DIY.

Smooth. Is this not the same combination that is used in Lynn Olson's Ariel speaker? And where did you get those Hitachi mosfets? Which amp is this?
Currently, I am working on the Zen balanced line stage. The boards are ready and I have soldered the components on the power supply board. This will be mated with my EFY amp, which part of my 2 channel audio-listening setup.

By the way, what are the mods you made on the CD player PSU? I have already changed the mains cord to a shielded one. I need to get hold of some ferrite clamps (or whatever it is called). I mean the one which is used on computer monitor power cords.

Ok I'll PM you more. some of this stuff is not meant for public consumptoin. So far the Moderators have been kind to this senile old man but i dont intend to test their patieince forever.

Here's my personal system:-
1. PROAC STUDIO 140 TOWER SPKS,
2. LINN SONDEK LP12 REFERENCE TURNTABLE (will set-uo shortly, just got it),
with lingo pwr supply & linto phono-preamp.
3. BRYSTON 7B SST MONOBLOCKS,
4. AUDIOLAB DAX8000 - DAC 24BIT HDCD
5. LINN CD PLAYER
6. VAN DEN HUL REVELATION SPK CABLES,
7. CARDAS POWER CORDS,
8. CARDAS DIGITAL CABLE,

Looks like you got the works there. Extremely impressive. Like to listen to it one day.
