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,

This is the best I have to date, but far from what is to come. That is because this journey is neverending. Too bad the money seems to be. Here it is... B&W 800d speakers, Transparent Ultra MM bi-wired speaker cable, Pass Labs X-600 monos , Purist Dominus interconnects, Meridian 861 V4.2, Transparent reference digital interconnect, Shunyata Hydra 8 ac conditioneer and the weakest link in the chain(due to lack of money) is the Arcam DV27 cd. I will soon be purchasing the Meridian 800(I hope).
hi. i have recently inherited a pair of bose 2201 speakers, which from what i understand are extremely rare. i am trying to determine how to value them but am having extreme diffuclty. can anyone help? is there a price source like a blue book for stereo equipment? is there a stereo musuem? is there another forum that may have this information? thanks.
Hey hooper,

I just sold my Linns and bot the Dart combo so just as u using DCC2 strictly as a DAC.
I have it now. Nirvana at last- 800 Consonance monoblocks (lest you think I jest check the Blue moon award,) these amps are incredible . I never met an EH I ever liked. These are incredible, with the stock of four EH 6CA7s true tetrode each. Drivers are Mullard CV2943s and Tung Sol 5687s . The sources are a Concosonance CD player an older sacd capable model I forget but it has volume control number 2.xx going into the best darn preamp I ever heard a simple AE-3 I got for $300. My friend an engineer said let me mod it . Why we both said he said I can make it a DJH signature. OK . We both agree it didn't change the sonics much. I immediately put in my best 6SN7s in I used TS RPs but Sylvania GTs sound almost as good, not W s. Finally without going into cabeling the sound eminates from JM lab 936 Electras.
People remark how well my speakers sound now. I chukle they were broken as well some 4 years ago. They don't notice the Tube Power Amps or discount them. The pre is a speck in my audio room a vast wasteland of products tried and abandoned.
No it is not the speakers guys it's the rig. Nivana at last Nirvana at last Thank God almighty Nirvana at last. I have found what I have been lookin for now for 6 years. Except my pre has no phono but I think I stick with AES.

I was happy with the system that I aquired as a young audiophile of 17. Following a path laid down by my Father. I wanted to get the best I could afford. Then after 25 years of service the integrated died. Enter,.... what? What's that site .... Audio--- what... where are the stores ? HIgh End? what's that???!
