What is your front end ?

LPs’, CDs’, mostly, especially if hop soup is served, we all know with each cup of soup, the vol. know gets a notch after every one, and morning comes, and the,smell of capacitor is in the air, followed by a blown mid, or tweeter.

been there, only cd when,vol is pushed. Speakers only rated I think 250w peak. 
amps push 650 @8 ohm, 1000@ 4 oh,. I’m always cautious and keep the metal for myself, friends o,ver, mellower stuff, or acoustic,  

Odyssey kismet monos, Rotel cd, elite dv-59 or 58,  elite dv-79avi , B&K pro10mc-mid 96-97 ore appealing version,   Sunfire 600 signature.  Few other pieces, I loan to rent to only trusted people I know respect good stuff!

most is loaned to friends and family for summer  

most of the fellow audiophiles owns a really excellent equipment but really surprised no one has try ipod and good Dac Combination as a front end.

I started with iPods and iPhones and then MACs into good quality DACs… can sound pretty good considering… until you hear a good purpose built streamer… then they don’t sound so good.
