Whats your DREAM System that has synergy for your type of music?

    I am definitely a 2 channel vinyl guy. My simple and sweet system would consist of...
1. Legacy Audio Aeris speakers. Beautiful quality build and amazing sound with low bass.
2. Complete system with High Fidelity Cables.  Can t beat new technology  
3. Kronos Sparta Turntable. Beautiful looks and design. Kronos tonearm.
4. Dynavector DRT XV-1t cartridge. Love the sound of this cart. 
5. West Titan Pro phono pre/stage. Solid state speed and quietness what more can you ask for.
6. Audio Research Reference 5 SE preamp. Have had a LS25mk11 and it rocked hard.
7. Krell FPB 750Mcx  Mono block amplifiers. I had 350 FPB monos and loved the sound. The last of the Class A titans... 

Not an all out over the top system but one I could live with for years I;m sure. Type of music is 70"s rock, pop, Vivaldi, Almost anything that is cleanly recorded.

Cheers, care to share and comments welcome.

My dream system MUST have synergy for ANY type of music even including spoken word and other non-music media.

I'm also vinyl dude with gigantic vinyl records collection.

I also like powerful solid state amplification. Had been into tubes, but living in South-East and enjoying EVERY cold day per year(being born in portion of world with climate similar to Great Lakes), I've chosen class D amp over decade ago and never went back and never will.

I also like true-balanced components for an ability to deliver open and WIDE presentation that gives feeling of an uncompressed sound similar to live stage... BUT...

Most of all I like to see artists live and use every chance to see the ones I like.

Nice post czarivey,  Class D is really coming into its own with Devialet hybrid, Mola Mola and a few more.. Class A  may very well become a thing of the past as new technologies are being developed. Hats off to Mr. Jeff Rowland as a long standing innovative company  If I can get my hands on a reasonably priced Krell amp as stated it would be a keeper for me. Balanced is best.. Thanks for your insight. D

Have you played with any linear tracking arms? Did you have any plans to get one?
I'm aiming for any condition Technics SP10(will fix if not fully operable) that I want to merry with MG 1.2 air-bearing linear arm... Than I guess -- HEAVEN!

Many Many Years ago I had a B&O turntable that had a linear tracking arm, the turntable worked flawlessly for years.  I may try and get a mint one  for a second system some day as they come for sale on ebay and other sites from time to time. Soundsmith has the dibs on cartridge replacement should it need one.  The air bearing turntables with linear tone arms look very cool and the technology seems like a sound choice for a turntable. Let me know how it sounds when you get it..
