New system!


After 15 years of Bose acoustimass and Yamaha integrated amp, pulled the trigger on a pair of Wilson Sabrinas with Parasound Halo P5 and Parasound Halo A51 with B & W HTM61 S2 center and two JL Audio D110's. Using the same Bose 101's for rear speakers. Music being more important to me then theatre, I really had to cut costs somewhere. I cannot be more pleased with this setup. I have spent 6 months listening to various high end speakers, amps and preamps and was amazed at at how much one can spend if one has the inclination.   I am a new audiophile. My wife has a worried look on her face!!

It has left a deep hole in my pocket and I am trying to feel buyers remorse but it eludes me!

I had started at the low end and after friends recommended Emotiva products, and being cost conscious I started with the Emotiva ERC-3 balanced Reference CD Player And Transport. It weighs a ton ( including the remote is like a brick), but it is a great player. I also have a Synology D218 and a Auralic Mini which does a decent job as a server. Also included in this is a Denon DP-500M. 

Thanks for the insight. It is reading forums like this one that I have learnt a lot, so you advice is appreciated. Like I said, I am more of a music buff and not so keen on theater, but eventually will swap out things to eplace as the burn in my pocket starts to cool down. Lol
@hawk123 - Interesting.  Never personally listened to any Emotiva gear, but they certainly have their cheering section... ;-)

I've been using a Denon DP60L for decades, with a Grace F9 Ruby, and have no complaints.  Solid tables IME.  I've auditioned a number of CD players, but honestly haven't found one significantly better than my vintage Sony XA20-ES which is also a tank.  But, my ears are now quite old and between some tinnitus and occasional hyperacusis, that nth degree of resolution is lost on me these days.

Have fun.
Congrats and I'm glad you're enjoying the large step up to the stratosphere from ground level.
Thanks @ energyaudio. I am. Every CD I have now seems like a whole new experience. I am going through every one of my collection, even the ones I condemned to “no more listening “ category. 
Added a Denon turntable DP -500M with Denon 103-R cartridge. My Denon turntable is playing Melody Gardot, Jane Monheit and Swan Lake -Boston Symphony Orchestra ;conductor Seiji Ozawa tonight and it sounds absolutely wonderful.
