THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLES
PART 1: AUDIO DESTINATION - DANVILLE, CA
A year or so ago, I struck an online friendship in another audio forum with its founder Steve Williams. Aside from the audio threads, we hang out in another off-topic thread that focused on the NBA. After countless exchanges on the season that concluded with Dallas winning the title, Steve invited me to watch a live NBA game in the Golden State Warriors arena at the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the lockout (which just ended a few days ago) deprived my schedule of watching any NBA games in November, when I visited the SF Bay Area. That was the second agenda actually, as the first was to visit his home in Danville, CA and listen to his amazing system composed of these:
Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Series ll
Lamm Industries ML 3 Signature
Lamm Industries LL1 Signature Dual Mono Line Level
JL Audio Gotham/g213 (pair)
Playback Designs System MS5 CD Player
Studer Reel To Reel A-810
Nordost Valhalla speaker cable, interconnects and power cords
Each of those components, btw, made my eyes go
The view from the seat:
Right side wall full of ASC tubetraps:
The Rack:
The not-so-meek LAMM mono block with separate power supply(they are awesome)
The R2R Tape Player:
Right channel Alexandria 2 with the Gotham sub (they are even more awesome)
The complete rack:
Me and Steve:
,,,to be continued, most definitely.
