Yes, yes, yes!
I feel it! Like an old time revival meeting!
Fired up the system last night, listening to vinyl through the SET 300B, and had to use my better judgement, and finally shut it down at 3:00 a.m.
Played some rock, Gaucho by Steely Dan, and Pirates by Rickie Lee Jones, classical, Prokofieff, Symphony No. 3/Scythian Suite, and Brahms, Piano Quintet in F Minor.
Sometimes, I get to musing about what, and how long, it took to get to such a satisfying point in listening. I remember the time when my HPD drivers and XO's arrived from the UK, and I hooked them up temporarily, mainly to see if they worked.
Lying on their sides, next to my Dynaudio Contour 5.4's, it was quite a shock, as they sounded much better than the nearly $9000 speakers they were next to. I then knew I was on the right track, and haven't looked back.
I feel very fortunate to have acquired such reproduction at home. It makes up for all the wrong turns I previously took.
Thanks for the contributions on this thread from all of you, and to the OP for posting it. I have enjoyed learning about others' systems, it's kind of a favorite pastime of mine, as there seem to be an infinite mix of components that can be put together, I'm amazed at the ingenuity and passion of music lovers the world over.
Best regards,
Dan
