    Hi Zygote, quite similair to mine!!
    I've got the Ming-Da equivalent to the Icon and the Perspective TT, but you've got a good system there.
    Welcome to the forum. Fire away with those questions

    OK guess i should join the fun,
    my system which is nearly finished after 2 years slow upgrade:

    Michell Gyrodeck with DC motor & NC PSU/SME IV/Kontrapunct B
    Trichord Delphini MkII Phono stage
    Lyngdorf RCS2.0(with room correction)
    Lyngdorf SDA2175 amp
    Stello CDT-200 transport
    B&W Nautilus 803
    Kimber Monocle X speaker cable
    Exact Power EP15A mains regenerator(the best upgrade yet!)
    Target wall shelf for TT and Quadraspire 6 shelf stand for rest

    The RCS & SDA are due to be replaced with a TDA2200 with "room perfect" as soon as they start shipping into the UK and eventually ( if i've any money left !!) the Stello will go for a Lyngdorf CD-1

    had a scan thru this posting and there's some loverly kit out there ...

    Welcome o warm one and don't be so modest about your kit. I used to own a pair of X-A200s and still admire them. One of MF's better products I feel.

    cheers,
    yes, it made the doner Rega seem like a midi system deck in comparison, but there are still lots of plans for it, KAB in the states : http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/index.htm do an offboard power supply for $250 and a strobe disabler too .....but we will have tto see what funds come along...was advised by the cartridge man to stick his new air arm on it.....

    Welcome aboard, Mike!

    The poking fingers never stop, even when they've grown up and left home!
