The most musical system you ever build?


May be there are similar posts before, but could we do it for new comers.

Not the best hi-fi you ever build!
"Musical" means the enjoyment of music for you or your family.
I like jazz/classical vocal, so I list my favorite one for that set up:

SONY XA7ES + P1/P3A DAC
ARC LS-15 + ARC VT-1000-II
Celestion SL600 + REL Strat-III
TMC interconnects + AudioQuest speaker cables
DIY speaker stand + DIY room treatment
Oracle Delphi-II + FR arm + blue point special + ARC PH3SE

Some of them are very old, most used.
But they are very "musical" to me in the things I spin on them.

Try: Ella Fitzerald, Carerras, Jennifer Warnes....
cello is very good also.

LS-15's cap upgrade open up the mid and almost any other brand of tubes improves in the bass area.
Room treatment is very crucial in my small room.
Speaker is tuff to drive, and LS-15's gain is only barely enough for a pretty powerful VT-100.
Will use ProAC 3.8 for chamber music and up, musical too.
Actually, ProAC is easier to drive than the little SL600.
Hear more transpant sound in hi-fi stores, but seldom more musical than this one, IMHO.

Please share your tricks or memory for something you can't forget.
Or something you wish to go back, leaving your state-of-art equipment.

Sugarbie, that is exactly what I was posting. The Denon was more musical to me, yet the Heath was cleaner. Looking back, I would chose the Denon over the Heath if I were to do it over; heck looking back I would do a lot different.
Quad ESL 988 Loudspeakers
Quad 99 Preamp
Quad 909 Amp
Rega Planet 2000 CD Player.
Audioprism Foundation II
Final Labs Daruma II under the CD and Vibrapods under the rest.
Imperial Sonics Wire all around, inc power cords.
The Quads are the clearest and most musical speakers I have ever owned.
Nothing comes close to them for clarity,soundstage,and depth.
So real it is scary!
The Rega Planet is a great match because of its new chip and musical properties.
The Imperial Wire is a great match for all components and affordable.
This system for me is by far the best I have heard for "music" and not for analytics.
Sure, the CD could be better, but why? And for how much more?
Matched electronics and matched wire really make a difference.
Everyone that has heard it is amazed.
Not cheap, but worth every penny.
Around 15 years ago I put together a system culled from
leftovers from other systems. Not terribly accurate or
extended at either frequency extreme but musical in the way
that would have you tapping your toes in the room next door.

Quad II amps and original preamp
Linn LP12, RB300 arm and some kinda Denon cartridge
Harbeth HL Mk3 Monitors
Yesterday I was doing some work around the house so I put a simply vinyl Elvis album on my TT. The listening room is in the basement and I was upstairs. It sounded like Elvis was trapped in my basement. It was kinda eerie having a dead person down there.
The system made the music come alive. I'm using a Sota Star Sapphire with a Rega RB 900 arm and a Benz Glider cartridge. This is run through a Krell KRC 2 and an Aragon 8008st amp. The speakers are Sony SS M7es. I'm using Purist and Cardas interconnect, Monster M2.4 speaker cable and homemade powercords.
None of this is ulimately special but it let Elvis out of the grooves and into the room
My Linn Aktiv system is by far the most musical system I have ever had. Especially so when I consider the enjoyment when listening to lesser recordings. Let's face it, stellar recordings play back well on all systems.

The Down From The Mountain tour landed in my home town (Nampa, Idaho) last week. For those not in the know about this tour it is all the folks from the music side of the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou". Before and after this event I listened to the soundtrack on cd. The concert was like listening in my music room.
