Started from scratch again, building my fifth system in 60 years. To enjoy great music, I started with a pair of ACT SRC50's-active, and PS Audio electronics from the regenerator (great), direct stream DAC, direct stream transport, BHK preamp (Amprex inside) and excellent interconnects by Vertre. It's a simple system, not one that fills the room with hardware, and totally enjoyable. Next step is a Innous Zenith MkIII, and maybe a pair of REL subs. I have used a myriad of great equipment in the past and I think I have bettered all of it. BTW, I got out of vinyl because of the constant tinkering and "tics". Took too much time away from listening to great music.
