You've Won the Lottery: Your Dream System, Now.


For this exercise, you don't HAVE to spend lots of money....but imagine if price were absolutely no object....

...and you weren't trying to show off, impress your neighbors, be loyal to your dealer, blow lots of cash needlessly or experiment with the latest Editors Choice or Class A recommendations.....

but rather, using everything you have ever learned in this hobby and in this forum, were honestly, genuinely, simply and sincerely trying to achieve the most "high end", 2 channel, musical nirvana ever in the history of audio..

..where you could buy new or used, as you wish....

With no constraints to the budget, of course you can have a perfectly restored Levinson HQD, Infinity IRS or Quad/Entec system.....the giant Apogees...or the latest mega Wilson's or any other well marketed, latest top of line speakers, however overpriced they might be....

Brand new or classic Audio Research reference....LAMM....Pass Labs...analogue, digital, WHATEVER YOU WANT under the sun.....

Rives tuned room, Shakti stones, exotic power conditioning devices.....just say the word and it can all be yours right now.

Here are the only rules:

ONE source
ONE system re pre amp and amps (bi or triamping optional)
ONE set of speakers
Cables exactly as you wish
As many tweaks as you like
All CDs and/or records FREE

Tell us your design for the perfect system, the last audio system you would ever need to build to live a long, happy, musically enriched life....the system you would never need to change or upgrade and the system which would enable you to die happily.

Good luck. Have fun.

Cheers,

I'd simply hire D'Arcy and Whitaker and tell them to select
the equipment and build whatever they wanted without compromise. Make it
better than anything else they have done. I'll readily admit I am no expert so given the money I'd let these experts decide everything. Also if I had unlimited funds I'd build all this in an exotic location, hire the best technicians and invite the bands to come with their producer and record at my house!

One caveat - the band would need to bring their groupies. (I'd hire Simon Cowell to narrow down the selection first - to keep air travel sensible, as I am an environmentalist at heart)

One problem - I'd think I've died and gone to heaven!
