I think I got my Creek in the mid to late 80s. I had considered the NAD and Rotel but for various reasons ended up with the Creek, a decision I never regretted.
It's currently fed by a Technics cd player with a Kimber optical link from the transport directly into an MSB d/a converter. It drives a pair of Klipsch kg2 speakers (the later version with passive radiators) through Monitor cable. The speakers sit on sand-filled Target stands and the components on a Sound Organization table - all fully spiked of course. It sounds pretty good, and barring breakdown will likely be the system that I die with. :-) cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> Sent: February 3, 2012 2/3/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: OT question for electronics geeks On 2/3/2012 2:07 PM, [email protected] wrote: > It's all bull do-do isn't it? > > As George said earlier, it's to make it look more "technical"; I'm sure the > numbers on the faceplate bear little relation to any real output, ratios, > volts, watts, or anything else. > > My Creek CAS 4040 has no numbers.

Just like my NAD 3020, the one I got in November '79, and is within arms reach of where I sit. -- Larry Colen [email protected] (from dos4est) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
