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

I've been searching for a long time, at the beginig I used Acurus electronics and B&W speakers, cabling was by nordost. That system was my firt hi-fi entry and it gave my years of listening pleasure. I've then upgrated my electronics to Sonic Frontiers and a new journey began, the neutral and soulfull sound of the Line 1/Power 1 combo maxed the capabilities of my Matrix B&W's. I upgrated to Martin Logan Ascents and found myself rediscovering the joys of audio nirvana. A teac esoteric fron end put the icing on the cake. Cables continue to be Nordost blue Heaven

My current rig is by far the best system I've ever assembled. I've had a few costly systems in the past, but this one simply obliterates all the others. It's taken quite a few stumbles and a small fortune to get here, unfortunately. But I guess the end justifies the means. My system:

Von Schweikert VR-9
EMM Labs CDSD/DCC2
DarTZeel NHB-108
Jena Labs ICs and power cords

I'll soon be adding the DartZeel battery-powered preamp to the mix and using the DCC2 strictly as a processor. I heard a prototype of the pre at CES, and it's mind-altering.
