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

Maybe it was because I was younger and everything seemed to be more fun?
A pair of Mac 240s
Marantz 7c
Chartwell LS35/As
Dual 1229
Grace F9L
Maybe it just sounded better?

Marantz sa11s2,DIY passive pre.,Rogue 150 mono,all connected with soundstring wire.The speakers are the Gallo Ref.3s.

Emm Labs CDSD SE + DCC2 SE, VYGER Indian Signature turntable + Koetsu Onyx, MIT Oracle MAX and Cabasse Atlantis (active speakers with 8 amps build in).

My current Tannoy Canterbury SE system which rather than repeat myself you can check out in virtual systems for yourselves. All I will say is this. Having heard a few recording studio systems, IMO this current system eats the studio set ups for musicality. Where the studios win out is the resolution available for playback which in the digital domain I can,t compete with YET. But soon, very soon

The Mother of all Systems; err maybe. 37 yrs later from that first experience in London as a boy listening to an all Quad system at HMV, Oxford Street, and then via Klipschorns and Planars; I have arriving and ready for delivery a synergestic combination that I couldn't even dream of as existing. Here goes, to what can only be described as a thunderous assault on the senses; all 2009 latest gear:

SPKRS: Shahinian Acoustics Diapasons
POWER AMPS: 2 x Stereo Symphonic Line Kraft 300's
PRE-AMP: SL RG3 Mk4 with phono
CD: SL Reference Mk.2
TT: SL RG 6
Cartridge: SL R8/Gold
CABLES: SL Reference/Schnell

I thank the Shahinians and Rolf Gemein for their dedication and pursuit of excellence towards an earthly yet almost divine perfection. My quest is over as Nirvana has been attained.
