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,

Wadia 860x, ML333, Dunlavy IVa, AQ Sterling, XLO Signature 1.1. Simple, direct and quality still offers the most resolution and wham for the buck.

Marantz CD7, Hovland HP100, Cary 805C and Merlin VSM-M. Cabling by JPS, Audiotruth and Cardas. Refined, airy, taut bass, unbeliverable multi layered soundstaging and simply musical.
