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

Thankfully the hits just keep on coming, the best is my current primary system. At least it is the best sounding. The most fun system was with my now gone TEAC X-10 R2R which I did a lot of recording.

Primary components in the current posted system are the McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp. Paired to VSA speakers. Not over the top compared to many of the great system posted here, but really a joy to listen too.

The best hifi system i have built is as follows..mcintosh mt10(sabre 32 chips)turntable my krell cypher two evolution 2 preamps (stereo pair) two evolution one monoblocks (stereo pair) and westlake audio tower sm1 speakers..I have got a krell fbi with wilson audio thor's hammer sub to do the bass side of things when i am listening to dance music..It's the best possible sound you can get and nothing comes anywhere near this from the likes of pass labs mark levison etc..I have done myself a home cinema with sim2 projector and screen evolution 707 av 3x403e 3 channel a 402e stereo and 302e stereo with bowers and wilkins ct800 with three subs..again it's the best possible sound you can get in home theatre the bass sounds glorious the 707 just takes over control and gets the best out of the b&w speakers..I have also built myself a home studio being a professional dj with two krell s150 monoblocks with bowers and wilkins pm1 monitors i use a adl gt40 dac/headphone amp that i use with hd800 headphones..p.s The monoblocks come back through the gt40 with balanced krell bass and makes the hd800s sound the best i have ever heard them!
