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

AR ES-1 Turntable
Theta Digital Probasic III DAC
Theta Pearl Transport
Wyetech Sapphire Monoblock Amps
Wyetech Opal Pre-amp
Brentworth Soundlabs Type 3A Speakers

Incredible clarity, resolution, and musical texture. Blows me away everytime I warm it up.

My current and best system has Harman Kardon Citation I tube preamp and Citation II tube amplifier along with Revox A-77 reel to reel tape recorder, Pioneer ctf-750 cassette, Sony 5 disc cd player, Pioneer pl-550 turntable, and KLH model 7 vintage speakers.

Dayton Wright XG 8 electrostatics (with panasonic leaf tweeter) and upgraded power supply. Incredible midrange, airy tweeter and tight bass.

Threshold pre amp and amp (SL 10 and 4000)

Linn Sondek turntable with dynavector 505 arm and ruby cartridge

System was circa 1981

If "best" means enjoyed the most, then it was ....

a/d/s L1230
Yamaha C2a
McIntosh MC2155
Micro-Seiki BL51 with Signet XK50 & TK7e
Nakamichi ZX7
Yamaha T2

I put this system together BEFORE I got serious about equipment, back when it was all about listening to the music, not how the system was playing the music.

Ah.... those were the days.

Dean.
