My home audio/video setup
My home audio/video setup looks like on picture below: Television
The TV which I have chosen is Panasonic plasma NeoPDP. Model 42G10.
This model TV has exceptional black level, fantastic motion clarity, natural-looking colours and perfect screen uniformity. AV receiver
Best choice for warm sound and clarity picture is Harman/Kardon AVR 260.
This is 7.1 receiver with 1.3 HDMI pass through capable to decode high definitin audio (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True-HD). Also it has Faroudja graphic processor for great 1080p upscaling from any video source. Receiver also has preouts for all of 7.1 channel so you can connect external amplifier. Preamplifier
No compromise! Passlabs Line Stage of Zen preamplifier.
It is just wonderful sounding. Pure A class based on MOSFET IRF610. Sounds liquid with great depth. Many thanks to Nelson Pass for wonderful design. See more in DIY section. Amplifier
Amplifier with blood and flesh. Marantz MA-9S2 clone.
This so-called Marantz MA-9S2 clone has incredible sound. Well, it is not 100% clone, but it beats a lot of famous amplifiers on the market. It blasts! Sound stage is realy good. See more in DIY section. CD player
This is almost vintage CD player: Pioneer PD-S505. It date from 1998. and still is doing its job well.
It has stable platter mechanism and fantastic DAC. Precision sounds, sounds incredibly vivid and lifelike. DAC
Half-DIY Gigawork 192/24 upsampling DAC. DAC is based on audiophile dual Burr Brown OPA627 unit and R-core transformer.
Decent sound and real improvement and upgrade for a good CD player anyway. Tonally the Gigawork is warm, smooth and with a more extended and fuller bass. See more in DIY section. Tuner
Stand alone tuner are always better than integrated, especially when it is Tangent TNR 100.
It is perfectly build by using aluminium front panel and a ridget cabinet. All electrical and mechanical parts and the combination gives a performance hard to beat. Media player

When nothing but the very best is good enough for Home Entertainment system, the Jamo D 8CEN is the speaker it need for the all-important centre channel role. Jamo's audiophile reference speakers. The result is sensational reproduction of voices and details, with a level of clarity that does full justice to discrete Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks.
Subwoofer: Energy S10.3
The Energy S10.3 subwoofer can blast bass from 21Hz to 110Hz and this makes it low enough for the deepest bass audible. It is capable of producing the sound that exceeds by far the amount of quality and excellence other brands offer for the money. The Energy S10.3 subwoofer sports a 10-inch Ribbed Elliptical Surround ass driver, whose cone is made of ceramic/glass/mica-loaded polypropylene hybrid. It is virtually distortion-free even at high levels and for the lower frequency spectrum. Headphone Amplifier
