Saturday's Project
Everything has arrived for my new two channel listening area: MA9000, MEN220, MPC1500, MT-5, XR100s, Mc interconnects, control cables, and speaker cables - all of which will sit on a SolidSteele stand and connected to a Furutech GTX-D/GTX wall plate/106D cover by way of Shunyata Delta NRs.
Today's project will be to get everything connected and powered up. I also need to move my MCD600 out of the home theater to this listening area. The listening area is a little bit of a challenge, as it's small with a high ceiling and no wall behind me - somewhat like a loft. This is why I thought I might need the MEN220. Next purchase will be an upgraded streaming solution - due to the "blue flu" from which I am suffering, I may go with the MS500. Until then, I will just use an Airport Express connected to the MA9000 via Toslink.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, appreciated.
Making progress, still need to calibrate the system with the MEN220. I first wanted to get a baseline of how the system sounds without any tweaking. Really pleased with how it sounds right now, looking forward to improving on this with the aid of the MEN220. Listened to a few SACDs yesterday on the MCD600...wow, really enjoyable experience.
