Best system ever

Out of all the years of going to high end stores ,freinds houses ,stereo shows,etc...what is the best system you ever heard?Mine was a system from the store 'Overture in Delaware sometime from 1996 to 1998.They had a system hooked up that was just to good to be true.It was the 2c3d system from spectral/avalon/mit.This was what i had based my thinking of what a reference system should sound like.Till this day nothing has compared..Thank you Overture

this is a philosophical discussion. we all know that there is no answer.

so, here's my opinion.

the best system was 4 quad esl, 4 quad 15 watt mono amps, a mac c22 preamp and a thorens turntable, ortofon arm and ortofon cartridge.

why was this system producing a sound superior to anything i have heard since ??

the timbre of instruments was more realistic than the best systems of today.
