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

What is the best system that you have ever put together , from source to speakers including cables ??? After all the swaps and auditions I'm looking for the final "aahhh, that's the ticket" sound to you and what components took you to Audio Nirvana. {This is a survey of actual auditions, not what you read in a magazine} THANKS,

-VPI Aries w/SDS, Syrinx PU2 (rewired w/ Cardas), Benz Ruby
-Marantz CD recorder w/Adcom DAC to make it listenable - used primarily for recording
-Wright Sound Company WPL20 preamp
-Music Reference RM-200 tube/solid-state hybrid power amp

Its like a time machine that can transport you to the recorded event. Immensely fun.
