Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo 2 Channel System Changes

I swapped out the long speaker cables for some short run Nordost Frey2s. Looks much neater. Those are the Marten Django L speakers. They sound pretty darn good. Balanced Audio Technology monoblocks, 110 wpc, and BAT preamp. I picked up a Bottlehead Repro Tube preamp for the TASCAM 32-2 track Reel to Reel which I just got back. New heads, specs now better than new.

I swapped out the Audio Research PH9 phonostage for an EAR 88pb. Sounds great. Audio Research ... Grand Theft Audio.

The vinyl section is sounding pretty great. Koetsu Black Gold Line cartridge.

The streamer is the Gold Note DS10. Sounds as good as some big buck streamers.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. More pictures to come.

Fire reflected on the piano finish Marten Django L. Pretty nice.

Russian MIG-25 tubes a-glow.

Plugged into a new 20 amp line I had put in for audio.

Looks nice! Purrrdy cabinets.

Yup. Sure makes me smile.

Denon DL45 turntable. She's a good old girl. AT cartridge needs an upgrade.

Craiglist cabinet. $150!
Rega 72 wpc solid state amp, Rotel CD991, Sony DVP CS777ES SACD jukebox.

Harbeth 30.2 Anniversary speakers. Axiom sub in the back, but the Harbeth's bass is so good in this room, I have not wired up the sub.

Sounds pretty good.

Hey 2x6, you know I think your the best, but still curious where on Marten's site can I post some Axiom speaker pics? lol although speaker porn is fun.

I thought this was an audio porn site. Hey, I'm a charter member. I have 2 EP500s, 2 EP600s, 2 LFR1100 Actives, VP180, VP160, 6 M2OWs, 2 M22s, 6 Michaura M55s, 2 Michaura M66s, 2 M80s, I must have forgotten a few. This is without counting all the Axioms I've had and given away. 3 sets of M3s, VP150, M50s ...

So, yes, the Martens and the Harbeths are also very special. And they sure are purdy, well, the Martens anyway. The Harbeths look like crates in which you might find mackerels on ice. But, they sure sound great!

PS I haven't posted pictures of the main Axiom Home theater set up, or the wonderful Dahlquist DQM9 system, in the workout room (rarely heard) or the bedroom HT system, Thiel CS3.6s, VP180, 2 EP500s, SVS 20-39, and Velodyne 12" servo sub with the 6 Michaura M55s. I have stuff. Audio stuff.

I only like one song.

PS, oh and the car wash garage system.

PPS, I don't know whether Marten has a website, if they do, it's in Viking.

Of course, this is my go-to for audio porn
