Yes. Tannoy Canterbury GR with VAC Master 300iQ monos and matching Master preamp. The Master amps effected a vast performance increase over other amps. Nothing I’ve ever heard has made so much difference as those amps. The system now matches or exceeds the best sound I ever imagined for that room. I can still play with various phono stages & cartridges for "flavor" changes, and each change is rendered in its best light possible by this downstream.

My "sandbox" for experimenting with more gear combinations has now moved to a smaller office system.

I don’t have a "go to" artist for testing system changes because it becomes boring very quickly! I just use mostly ordinary LPs that have been in recent rotation (no digital at all! lol). Certainly not "audiophile" releases (which I find horrendously boring)! I suppose I do end up using Blue Oyster Cult, Magnum, and Quarterflash more than average. Also like a lot of 80s / new wave / synth wave and some heavy metal (including hair metal). There is a vast difference between a "good" sounding LP and a bad one, and of course I avoid the latter. But the good are certainly not limited to slow, sleepy female singers (like the usual suspects at audio shows).

Sometimes it feels like half the people in this hobby are also involved in the industry, in some capacity. Anyways, I don't see a problem if he's a dealer for his cables. That was not the focus of this thread.
