bwguy,
My system is old and obsolete by manufacturers that are largely out of business, but for what it's worth:
AR turntable highly modified
Magnapan Unitrac I tonearm
Sumiko Talisman S cartridge
Little Bear tube preamp (6N3, 6Z4)
Hafler DH200 amps highly modified
Accoustat model II
M&K Goliath II subs
Nondescript cables
For me it's not about the list of equipment, but what it sounds like and I think it sounds pretty good. I've been isolated from audio for 25 years and it's easy to delude yourself into thinking it sounds good when others might laugh. With no high end audio stores in Ft Wayne I have no basis for comparison. I am hoping to connect with local audiophiles to hear what others have achieved to see how my system compares, it might be good or it might suck.
