Thanks. I just moved in so setting up my systems has been a priority! I usually do tube power and C2300 pre on the vinyl and set that aside for weekends. Weekdays I'm all over the place from streaming, music server, or CDs. That's usually the SS Power paired with the C2300 pre. I'm working on better lighting in the room.

Settled on a cheap stand from Amazon and cut the back out to fit the Mac. Not bad for $150.

Do you have a link for the stand? I think its great.

That tube amp is custom built by Ron Becker in Maryland. It's only one of six that he's built. He originally consulted with Bob Carver on the schematics. It's dialed in beautifully and sounds amazing when paired with my C2300. When I bought it we used it with my Cornwall's and then with my JBL 4343's and the sound set me free. Sadly I've downsized in the past year and those speakers are no longer an option. I love my B&W 805N but they have been my back up speakers for years. I'm now shopping for new speakers that will compliment those amps in my smaller space.
