Thank You for sharing your 1.5 story. We have a few fans and owners here on the Panel.  Prima Luna has come a long way since market introduction. Still a good value as well. What other gear is in your system?

Happy Listening!

Other equipment is Rega P3 for vinyl, Lumin D2 for streaming, Muse CD player, Nordost Red Dawn IC and speaker cables.  

tomthiel,

I agree with you. Even with the rebirth of increased interest in vinyl by some in the younger generations, there is still not a widespread embrace of hifi music reproduction. I'm even discouraged by old friends my age, who seem to have traded convenience for realistic sound reproduction. One of my best friends recently "upgraded" his house-wide access to music by buying really nice remote controls and mass quantities of ceiling-mounted speakers. At the same time, he didn't even bother to hook up his existing Vandersteen speakers because they took up too much floor space. That's why I'm pleased whenever a few younger folks like Darren and Duncan commit wholeheartedly to the high-end audio world.

Very nice gear and system. Goodto read that you are enjoying Nordost cabling.

Happy Listening!

sdlr - I picked up a pair of near mint CS3.5s in Weschester County NY under similar circumstances. Big house, art dealer, posh entertainment - replacing the hi fi with Sonus in-wall and ceiling speakers fed from Spotify. He was most complimentary about the speakers and how much they had enjoyed them over the years - and the system was in good working condition. But the kids were grown and gone, etc. etc. I suspect there might be a resurgence of interest - eventually. Music can be profound, and MP3 over Sonus is really a big step down.
