What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system?

I like going to a Hilary Hahn concert with piano accompaniment, coming home and streaming her “Encores” album and being there again. Maggie 0.7s just disappear on instrumental music like that, a real favorite of mine. That’s what I like my system to do — just disappear and leave the sound.

...DSP...without a doubt...and Folks, this isn't Dad's slider eq!...minute adjustments within 1/10th of a decibel.  The 3D dimensional presentation possible in 2 channel sound with a good hi fi system, good source is simply remarkable.  Great retro gear (Thorens, Altecs, Tannoys, McIntosh MC275s, etc) notwithstanding.  Take a "finished system" like that THEN go to work with skilled DSP...oh my!  We live in wonderfully exciting times for both music access and playback.  The purity of A to B to C approach is no less valid...there are many ways home.  Cheers, Norm

I like how it sounds life like, tone and the imaging. Not to big or anemic. It’s full and spacious. I had a channel imbalance that has been bugging me, fixed now. Cart set up issue. Now wondering about just a little more of. . .something. A blue or black fuse or a Padis. My rca’s on my tonearm wire are for shite $ wise. Anyway it’s sounds good overall just nit picking around edges. 

Great thread Elizabeth. When Christy Moore sounds like Christy Moore and Chris Thile sounds like himself. On a system I can load in and out of a hatchback myself. And does not change the family budget calculus. 

I like what the 833-A triodes do for the bass response of my woofers. My 833-A SET amplifiers are homemade because I could never afford the few commercially made ones available. I run it on 1000 Volts with interstage transformer coupling (Hammond 126B) for a 245 to drive it at zero grid voltage and a Hammond 1642SE output transformer. It was work to perfect it, but I have a design that works beautifully.
