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,

My current rig is by far the best system I've ever assembled. I've had a few costly systems in the past, but this one simply obliterates all the others. It's taken quite a few stumbles and a small fortune to get here, unfortunately. But I guess the end justifies the means. My system:

Von Schweikert VR-9
EMM Labs CDSD/DCC2
DarTZeel NHB-108
Jena Labs ICs and power cords

I'll soon be adding the DartZeel battery-powered preamp to the mix and using the DCC2 strictly as a processor. I heard a prototype of the pre at CES, and it's mind-altering.
McIntosh c-8 MONO pre-amp,BI-AMPED: McIntosh MI200 (200 wt triode) for bass into Altec 515, Altec 144 theater amp into Western Electric 594 driver ,
speakers:......merlin......................................
