Finally arrived !!

My journey has come to an end and I could not be happier.

I am lucky to own now two systems, the "big" one and the "small" one from Crimson/Tocaro.

While the "small" system has obviously not the capabilities of the "big" one, I would not miss anything getting old with just the "small" one, it is THAT good, and the "big" one is hard to describe other than it plays music (vs. making sounds).

(I am particularly fuzzy with boomy bass and shrill heights and mids not sounding like the instruments/voices. The Crimson/Tocaro has to be experienced to be believed. And yes, I heard it all - all the big and "mighty" hi-end brands - and nothing plays music like my combos).

This is the latest gen Crimson 880 and the latest gen Tocaro 50F
The last picture are Crimson 640eIV and Tocaro 40F

The Dac is a Mytek and the current source is a HQPlayer based on Win Server 2019 (running on 15w) and the NAA also Server 2019 at 5w, all with good power supplies and some UpTone goodies.

@stereo5  apologies for not being clearer.  
 

The amps are Crimson 880. Did I forget to say that the people behind Crimson and Tocaro are not only very nice but also real geniuses?

There is no adjustement necessary whatsoever. I push ON on the Crimson 710 preamp and the 880s turn on in sequence. One after the other. And then only one volume button. That’s it. British hifi at its best. Redux to max.  and 50 years of maturing. Yes this system plays against anything at any price and is simple to use. Worth every penny. But lots of pennies…. 😉😉

I dont mind about the system ... I can replace it at very lowest cost for almost the same S.Q. with 6 months research ... ... A claim bit rude perhaps but i learn a lot in the last years ...i  can apologize for saying that and i do it ,  but i cannot apologize for thinking it ...

I want the house for sure and i like dog ...Very beautiful house if i judge by the room ...But i guess i cannot afford it ... 😁
