OK, I have to admit, it wasn't quite my "dream" system, but it was pretty good. I had a Theta Data Basic II transport, an MSB Gold Link III DAC, a KS-2020 dig. cable, an Adcom GFP-750 preamp, and Kimber Select 1030's all the way around, with Kimber Monocle speaker cable. I did it because I had just moved to DC, my rent was $1100 per month, and the job I was supposed to have feel through. Six months, still no job...
Anyone ever sold off their dream system and why?
Did you ever build up a dream audio system that for all intents and purposes was maxed out, sounded great and cost more than you care to remember? And then did you break it back down and if so, why did you leave Nirvana? I'm at the cusp and maybe since I have had so (too) much gear go through, I discover that maybe I can do it as well or almost as well for WAY cheaper. That's why I'm stuck on the pendulum. I peaked at 80K MSRP for a CD/Turntable based system. I want to do it for half somehow. Crappy transport into Tact into Kharma is breathtakingly good, the more so since it's so cheap. If it's so hard to climb the mountain, why are we coming back down?
