Hello all!

Today, I received the latest addition to my system, an Audio Research PH-3 phono pre-amp. The reason I’m bringing this up is that, ever since I got my Thiel 3.5’s this past November, my system has evolved a lot, all in an effort to extract as much performance & pleasure as I can from my Thiels. Since November, I have acquired:

-  ARC LS-7 tubed line-stage
-  ARC D240 MkII solid-state amp
-  ARC PH-3 tubed phono pre-amp
-  Wilson Benesch Full Circle turntable (awaiting delivery)
-  MIT AVT-3 speaker cables (picking-up tomorrow)
-  Bluesound Vault 2 streamer/NAS/player (being installed next week)

My interconnects remain AudioQuest Golden Gates & Cobras. And, still held onto my Denon 2900 SACD/DVD player. 

Point being...these Thiels have driven me to devious behaviors! I think I will be pretty happy for a while now, but I’m still looking for another D240 MkII so I can run them bridged as mono blocks. All to feed those Thiels all that much better...

Here’s hoping I don’t end up needing an intervention! 

Enjoy the music everyone...

@arvincastro  Nice system! I imagine you're very happy with your sound. I would own ARC if Ayre was not a thing. Enjoy!
