jafant,
My simple CD based system currently consists of the following:
audiolab 8000CDM CD transport
Audio Note DAC Kit 1.1 NOS tube DAC
Antique Sound Lab T1 passive autoformer preamp
Antique Sound Lab Tulip stereo 2A3 SET amp
Audio Note AN-E-L speakers
Rather than changing components, over the years, I have invested in adding numerous accessories, tweaks and mods, in order to get the best out of what I already have. I continue to be amazed at how much improvement can still be had, when these additions are carefully chosen.
My goal is to get as much of the life, energy, engagement and enjoyment, that I find in live music, out of my CD collection as possible. My musical tastes cover a wide variety of genres; rock, pop, classical, classic jazz, folk, classic country, bluegrass, Christian, Irish, Celtic et al. Basically, good music is good music, regardless of the style.
