Which purchase tipped you into nirvana.

I'm hoping to reach Nirvana in about six weeks, when I receive the new speakers I have on order. A pair of Daedalus Ulysses :)

Dynaudio Contour S1.4

Has to be from SS to Valves & from some SACD to Expensive Original Vinyl.

Windowpane at the Allman Brothers show at the Fillmore in 72.

I think I agree with Tvad, if I remember correctly. It has been a while since I started and I can't remember some things from yesterday never mind 30 to 40 years ago.

In chronological order: 1) 1975 - Stax Earphones; 2) 1986 - ARC SP10II pre-amp, my first piece of tubed equipment; 2007 - Silverline Bolero speakers.

Two speaker systems:

Infinity Prelude MTS and Tannoy 215 DMT II

My first set of headphones while i was still living with my parents. Fiannly a great soundstage imaging and a volume level I wanted!

My Well Tempered Labs Amadeus turntable

Naim Supercap added to Naim Superline/Dynavector XV-1s.

Dynaudio C1's.

The day I received my DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers and Raysonic cd-168 tube cd player. I think all this will be superceeded when I take delivery of my Odyssey Stratos stereo Extreme+++amp in about 6-8 weeks

A bottle of Grand Marnier - "Pure Liqueur"

Klipsch K-Horn. Yes, singular. Heard with Mac tubes, Marantz pre. Life was never the same after that. Could not afford them at the time I heard them, but twenty five years later I built the room and equipment. When Klipsch heritage stuff is heard in the right room with tubes (think SET), nirvana appears. Thank you Paul.

pair of 1978 hertage Belle Klipsch (still in use today)

also, the day we bought my gal her diamond; truly nirvana

Tvad has the answer, but it was the De Capos that made my system sing.

Big Ben Blotters seeing Pink Floyd in concert early seventies..... well perma grin is still the same as a big smile . Cheers

Audio Aero Capitole and after Prestige. Sonic bliss for digital. Also Quad 989 speaker such naturalness.

Musical Fidelity 308cr full function pre-amp. Big Smile!

I just got a calypso, way over the hill!!!!!
My system never sounded this good.

NOS Amperex tubes for my Audio Research SP-10 phonostage.

Audio Research cd7

The Coincident Frankenstein MK2 SET amplifier, the longer I`ve had them the more I appreciate their wonderful ability to present music with out any sense of mechanical/electronic artifact.
