Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to
Gents/Gals:
A general question on a “Total System” that YOU have heard at a buddies or acquaintance home. ( not a one night stand at audio show or retailer)
Is there a best system you have heard, that you consider darn near the best you can achieve ? Or just the best sounding home system that a friend has, and you have spent some wonderful time with ?
or Maybe yours ?
What kind of system was it ? Components, etc
Is there truly nirvana at a home

Ghd, Love to hear your system. In southern AZ?
Back to topic. Best home system. The one I could follow hands playing across a keyboard in the soundstage. Nope not it. The Wilson Whams,Thor, Spectral home theatre room Nope The custom speakers owned by audiophile's retailer with the 12 foot soundstage Nope The HH Scott INT 299, Garrard 301, Wilson Benesch Curves. After an hour's listening session I caught few seconds of sound which was clearer and more present than anything I have ever heard.

1978 at Doug Cassara’s house in Harrison, NY. His system: Quad 57’s driven by a pair of Futterman H3aa OTL amps. Signal source was a Marantz Seven tube preamp, Thorens 125 TT/Rabco SL7 arm/Panasonic Strain Gauge cartridge. We listened to Brand X’s Moroccan Roll LP. Amazing SQ! I had to go searching for Quad’s and Futterman’s! Now, decades later I have two pairs of 57’s and a pair of H3aa’s plus a rare Harvard Music H3 stereo version - plus a Thorens 125/Rabco arm. |
@jeffseight : I have two nicely restored Scott tube integrated amps! They do sound wonderful! |
@mikelavigne has an amazing system. He's a member and has all his gear listed. He's very passionate about the hobby and what he has accomplished with his room and system is mind-blowing. |
