The BEST system you've ever built !!!!

Rockport Serius II
Tenor 75wi
Aesthetix IO Signature with two power supplies
Audio Aero Capitole II
Talon Khorus X
Jena interconnects and cables
Dedicated 20 amp circuits with 100amp subpanel/ground

The system I'm building now:

Mark Levinson 390s player/processor
Tascam DA-P1 DAT recorder
Rega Planar3 table
Supex 900 Super cartridge
Monolthic PS-1/HC-1b phono stage
Mark Levinson 380 pre-amplifier
Mark Levinson 332 amplifier
AcousticZen balanced source ic
Transparent balanced ic to power amp
Transparent speaker cable
B&W 802 Matrix III speakers

Just got the 390 back (updated 39) and finally broken in.
The listening room isn't done yet, but my temp set-up is finally coming together. Need to add some room treatment, but otherwise a great setup for critical listening. Considering adding a pair of Martin Logan CLS electrostatics to alternate when I finish the room. The 802's throw a great image, but I miss my old pair of ML's.

Ear buds. I've listened to dozens of high-end systems and logged in thousands of hours on my own ever-evolving system. If you really want to hear what's on a CD, pop one into your computer or portable player and listen through ear buds. Their tiny transducers replay with startling beauty and accuracy the most minute subtleties in a recording in a way no combination of components can ever achieve. They simply have no obstacles to overcome in the way of room acoustics and mechanical compromises. You'd be shocked at the beauty of recordings heretofore relegated to the back shelf because of "harshness" or other shortcomings when played through earbuds. That said, I still tinker with my system and enjoy it immensely. But I propose that he who creates a system that can reveal "truth" of what's on a recording as well as earbuds do will have discovered the audiophile equivalent of the unified field theory. If you don't believe me, invest ten bucks on a modestly expensive set of earbuds and listen for yourself.

I'm a new comer to the hi-fi world. I found out about hifi about six months ago and was instancely hooked for life. Anyways, my curret system is the best systems I ever built.
Krell kps 30i, krell krc 3, krell audio standard, b&w's 801 matrix s3 with the northcreek crossover upgrades. Two dedicated 30amp line to my monoblocks.

Marantz 400OSE 5 disc changer, Perp Tech P-3A (w/ Wright mods) & P-1A DAC and upsampling engine, Creek OBH12 passive remote pre-amp, Air Tight 300B SET stereo amp, ProAc Response 2.5 speakers, and a REL Strata III sub bass system. Cabling is Audioquest speaker wires and digital cable, Tara Labs & Accrotec interconnects. I'm finished for, hopefully, a long while. By the way, the REL works exactly as everyone said it would - simply sounds just like my speakers but with deep, tuneful bass. Effectively expands the overall soundscape and the detail of the other frequency bands.
