I am so pleased with my current kit that I believe I have reached my end-game system. I’d never thought this before, no matter how satisfied I was. This is the first time ever, regardless of how thrilled I was about my system, that I’ve stopped pursuing other gear, even casually. I’d rather spend time listening than dreaming of other gear. My current speakers are open baffle with a horn, an amplifier delivering only 4.3 watts, and it is heaven for me. I lucked out finding the speakers for sale used locally, and on a whim contacted the manufacturer of the amp fortunately to be offered a demo unit at great discount (which was all I could afford).
Consonance Opera Audio Reference 2.2 (CD player, upgraded), Mapletree Audio 2A/SE (preamp, 6SN7 NOS tubes, Black Gate caps), Whammerdyne DGA-1 (stereo amp, 2A3 NOS tubes, wider band trannys), Pure Audio Project Trio15 Horn1 (Verastarr Illusion JR Series Copper Foil cabling).
Thanks for asking!
