If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system?

Berlin Philharmonic in a dedicated listening room

Dream set-up ?
front end - Studer deck. And a lot of master dubs.
amps - Ypsilon, Gryphon, Lamm or Wavac.
speakers - no idea, I would listen to everything I could
cables - depends on the above, most likely Purist Audio.
Very simple and very expensive.

You remember in the movie "The Graduate when the older man told the younger man just one word. Plastics. In reading this forum for years that word here would be Pass.

..but for many of the rest of us, even though we are quite happy with the systems we’ve built, maybe our dream system, if financially possible, would be something other, or more, than what we now have. What components do you now have and (if finances and circumstances, within reason, was no factor) what components would you add or change, to build your dream system?

Jim, In my previous post I responded to the title of your topic and posted my dream cost-no-object system. Now having read your OP through, I get the intent of your topic, so in keeping with your caveat “if finances and circumstances, within reason, was no factor”, and again I had a dedicated, treated listening room to do it justice, this would be my dream system..

- Magico S5 Mk2’s + S Pods
- Vitus SS-103
- Vitus SL103
- Vitus SCD-025 Mk2
- Melco N1ZS/2A server transport
- Melco D100 optical drive
- Dōhmann Helix 2 tt
- Graham Phantom III 12” arm
- DS Audio Master 1 cart/EQ
- Gigawatt PC-4 Evo+ conditioner
- Massif Audio Designs Dogma rack & amp stand
- Jorma Prime + Statement cables

In addition to my main system, I would look to expand to a 5.1 HT System later on, incl..

- Magico S Sub
- Magico SCC (centre channel)
- Magico S1 Mk2’s
- Motorized projector screen
- 5.1 HT Processor
