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,

How is your system doing now? I would like to know how it sounds, and especially how your VMPS speakers do in comparison with the Apogee Divas that you owned before.

Its was in the late 60s- Klipschons in the corner, TWO pairs of Bose 2201 speakers configured to be 1/4 spheres along the wall between the K horns, (Bose had their own amps) K-horns driven by Marantz 9s, 7C preamp, 10B tuner, a Crown 842 tape deck, Magenecord tape deck, Thorens 124 w/SME arm and Ortophon MC and a Thorens 224 w/Thorens arm and Ortophon cart. Most important was a big rack of 10" original tapes of recording sessions from classical venues all around the country (an engineer's private stock.)
This is my biginers system...more to come.
