My family and I truly enjoy music at every opportunity, though spare time seems a rare commodity lately. Having worked under a tight budget for years, I am actually quite pleased and content with the harmony I feel I have achieved among the individual components of my system. This is my best, and only system: Unison Research Simply II integrated amplifier with NOS Amperex tubes and Unison phono stage, Sonographe SG-3 turntable with Rega tonearm + Goldring 1042 cartridge, Esoteric P500 CD Transport, Monarchy 22B DAC, DCM Timewindow 7 Loudspeakers, Silver Stealth FR speaker cables and Kimber AG interconnects. I mentioned harmony earlier, because I feel that some components simply do not work well with together (especially amps, cables and speakers). The one element not mentioned was the source recordings
it is my humble opinion that the recorded media is just as important as any component in a system! I especially like DCC recordings (not a huge fan of MFSL cds, unfortunately).
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
What is the best system that you have ever put together , from source to speakers including cables ??? After all the swaps and auditions I'm looking for the final "aahhh, that's the ticket" sound to you and what components took you to Audio Nirvana. {This is a survey of actual auditions, not what you read in a magazine} THANKS,
