Audiophile systems of awe.

i have mentioned these speakers many times.

i owned a stereo system in the late 60's, which included:

stacked quad 57s, macintosh c 22 preamp, quad 15 watt mono amps, a theorens td 124 table, with ortofon arm and cartridge. that stereo system gave me more listening pleasure than any stereo i have heard since.

i have been attending ces show since 1992, as well as stereophile shows, have many audio buddies. none of the stereo system in production approach the naturalness of timbre of the stereo system i owned from 1967 to 1973.

In the mid 1990’s I met Mark Levinson. At that time he ran a company called Cello Music and Film. I heard his system. I have been into this hobby since the early 1970’s. I had never heard anything as life like as the Cello system. I liked it so much I bought one. It took ten years before I ever heard a system that sounded better.

Davidny, what was the system that trumped the cello music system?

Davidny,

Yeah, as Pedrillo asked, what was the system that trumped the Cello system?

The best system I ever heard (that was many years ago, and I might have a different opinion now) Was a Decca London cartridge, in (I think) a Linn table, into Audio Research tube preamp, and Audio Research tube mono amps into Infinity Servo-Static 1A speakers. It took my breath away. ..but then I head the total Cello system a few years ago and wasn't impressed at all.
