Since I'm sitting around listening to music and not doing much else of a productive nature, I figure I should post up another Moode-equipped system...
Continuing on with the whole "recycled electronics" theme established in my previous post, here's my main two channel rig, comprised almost entirely of leftovers that I didn't sell off or trade for other toys. I had a plan to rebuild my system and one thing led to another (as tends to happen) and the next thing I know years had passed and I hadn't replaced many missing components... Go figure.
Anyhoo, now that you're all up to speed, here's my current main listening system... I just need a new pre-amp, new transport, new DAC, new speakers, and new cabling... Along with a cable cleanup, and a few other tweaks...

If you look closely you can see the Raspberry Pi / Allo Boss 2.1 DAC to the right of the current pre-amp:

Managed to find a rackmount "ear" in my stash that matched up with the thumbscrews on the case... fit it between the wooden plinth and the rack frame... Kinda cheesy, but it works.
Raspberry Pi, Allo Boss 1.2 DAC, Audio lab 8000C pre-amp, Acurus ACD-11 CD transport, a pair of Bryston 3B NRB amplifiers, some old Paradigm Monitor 9 speakers, a pair of Paradigm PW-2500 subwoofers controlled by an X-30 crossover control unit, MIT Terminator 4 interconnects, and MIT Terminator 4 speaker cables... Like I said, all old stuff... I'm saving the planet, one system at a time?
