Main setup

byGreener's Hifi|Aug 11, 2026

My main 2 channel setup. Some old, some new, some DIY cables. I've had the turntable since I got back into vinyl in 07. CD player I got new in 06. The speakers which are amazing I bought second hand, made somewhere between 2010 and 2015 I think. The subs, one my friend gave me because his neighbours complained, the other I bought at a thrift shop for $70 CAD. The cables are mostly from Worlds Best off Amazon, but I did build the power cords for the CD player and DAC. Also the Cardas cables connecting the CD player when I want to bypass the DAC.

Room Size: Medium room - 120-250 sq ft
