Bought a Schitt Freya+. I liked it, but thought it sounded kinda thin when compared to a modified Aragon 24K SP I have (even with NOS tubes). So I picked up a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 modified with V-Caps and had it further upgraded by Parts Connexion.

SFL-2 will pair with the SFT-1 and SFD 2 Mkii I inherited from my dad. Going in a system with a pair of Magnepan .7's powered by a set of Aragon Palladium 2 monoblocks.

Looking forward to getting the system set up in a dedicated room. Even though I have some newer stuff, I think I'm a big fan of modified/upgraded 90's gear LOL

2 weeks ago, a Lumin T-2. Amazing piece, completely changed my listening experience.

coulda been worse.  I woke up one morning to find that I had bought a Cessna 170B the night before!

Elekit TU8600S with upgrades, WE 300Bs.  Paired with McIntosh preamp and Altec Valencias.  Bedroom system.  We used it for background music in the past with a Powernode 2i in the past.  Now it’s an order of magnitude better sounding, fine enough for critical listening.  I absolutely love it, especially with the Altecs.
