The BEST system you've ever built !!!!

When I was working at a McIntosh dealer in the late 60's, I had on hand a Bozak biamp filter, a Mc C-26 pre-amp, two Mc 2105 stereo power amps, a pair of Bozak Concert Grand speakers (16 cu ft infinite baffle enclosure with four 12" woofers each), and a pair of KLH Model 9 full range electrostatics. Using the biamp filter, I sent everything under 400 Hz to the Concert Grands for bass, and everything over 400 Hz to the Model 9's. It sounded fabulous: clean electrostatic mid and high frequencies, plus good solid Bozak bass. Never could sell the system; it was just too expensive for its day. Little did I know that I was inventing something that would become mainstream a generation later! Wish I had patented it...

My best system so far is; Rowland consummate with phono(Preamp), Rowland model 6 monoblocks(amps), Aerial acoustics
model 8B internally wired with Audioquest kilimanjaro silver wire in Santos rosewood with stands(speakers),Audioquest Python balance interconnects, Audioquest Caldera bywired,looking to upgrade to Volcano.
EAD DSP-9000 MKIII balance(dac), EAD T-700(transport),Exact power 2000 (ac regeneration unit), Thorens table.
By far the best system I have put togheter and yes it AHHHH!!! audio nirvana.

There is a piano playing in my living room and it was brought to me by onkyo Dx-v787 and a pair of Klipsch SB2 speakers...now this is not my main system and I use it for home theater...(I have a subwoofer with this setup and another much more expensive system) the point is that I'll bet that if I listen hard enough, I can tell the brand of piano playing. If I put another $20,000 into my home theater... same piano. My problem starts when I begin to think that I can do better.

Rockport Serius II
Tenor 75wi
Aesthetix IO Signature with two power supplies
Audio Aero Capitole II
Talon Khorus X
Jena interconnects and cables
Dedicated 20 amp circuits with 100amp subpanel/ground

The system I'm building now:

Mark Levinson 390s player/processor
Tascam DA-P1 DAT recorder
Rega Planar3 table
Supex 900 Super cartridge
Monolthic PS-1/HC-1b phono stage
Mark Levinson 380 pre-amplifier
Mark Levinson 332 amplifier
AcousticZen balanced source ic
Transparent balanced ic to power amp
Transparent speaker cable
B&W 802 Matrix III speakers

Just got the 390 back (updated 39) and finally broken in.
The listening room isn't done yet, but my temp set-up is finally coming together. Need to add some room treatment, but otherwise a great setup for critical listening. Considering adding a pair of Martin Logan CLS electrostatics to alternate when I finish the room. The 802's throw a great image, but I miss my old pair of ML's.
