I'm not sure gear "matters" but it's always cool to see what others are using. It sounds like your enjoying yourself and isn't that what all of this is about?
I just took possession of a refurbished Dual 1219 and wow has that transformed the Dirty Weekends. Well it hasn't transformed them as much as it's allowed them to show me what they're all about. I'm finally in love.
I guess I didn't realize how much my AT LP120 was holding them back. I haven't enjoying listening to records this much since getting back into it seven years ago. The grin hasn't left my face since unboxing the turntable yesterday.
Since you listed your gear, here's mine:
Anthem MRX 520
Dual 1219 with Ortofon OM10
Schiit Mani
Sony SCD-CE595
Cables are Blue Jean and a hodgepodge of Acoustic Research & Monster Cable from decades ago.
Oh and of course the Zu Omen Dirty Weekend in Rustic Hickory
