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,

It's the one I am listening to right now. It has two changes to go before I am done,
I still have not found the one box SACD/redbook player I want yet.
I want to upgrade the BAT VK-31SE preamp to the VK-51SE.

Dynavector XX2 cartridge

Thiel CS7.2 speakers
Consonance Droplet 5.0 CDP
All cables are Bogdan Gold/Silver ref.
All power cords are LAT AC2
speaker cables are LAT SS1000
Audio Magic mini Stealth used for the digital.

Huge, deep, solid soundstage. Transparent. Lots of detail, but very relaxed and smooth.
As soon as I get my digital source worked out and the better BAT preamp, I am done for a long, long, time.
Current system, still saving for my ultimate cartridge but sounds wonderful now.
