Stereo systems are always being tinkered with by people like me, so this is apt to change once in a while, but as of July 2001, my stereo setup is as shown below. For you audiophiles, no, I don't usually use the EQ. It's there to boost the lows and highs a little when I'm not using the plasma tweeters, otherwise I bypass the EQ because it sounds better without it. I must admit, the Sima I-Mix is the first digital piece of audio equipment I've owned (that cheap discman doesn't count!) -- not to mention the first with a parallel-port cable!

• The Phoenix Gold Cyclone Sub is what I want to add to pick up the extra low frequencies to give my system some kick. It's rotating sub, so its xmax is measured in degrees! It has three times the displacement of a conventional sub and operates from 11Hz to 60Hz best, with a 3rd-order or higher active low pass filter. I'm still trying to find one for sale. They are tough to come by. I would like to build a hexagonal enclosure of ~3.5ft³ from two sheets of 1/2" MDF glued together. I may have to use horn loading to match the acoustic impedance of a large space, since this was designed to couple the acoustic impedance of an enclosed space such as a vehicle (aka "short throw").
• Those funny looking wooden cubes are actually hand-made (by me!) art lamps. Each one is made of solid white oak and has ~25 LED's wired in series. One is all red LEDs ("Comet"), and the other is multi-colored ("Harlequin").
• Two of the paintings in the background are reverse-painted plexiglass art by me.
