Nice system- I bet it sounds really musical! Modest- by who's standards? The Rotel amp and preamp look like a very good match to drive the Vandys. I also have the Dynaco tube CD player, but have yet to hear it! It was broken when I bought it, no luck finding parts/ info on the player. If you don't mind me asking, who worked on yours? I'll have to be sure to check back to see the pictures of your system when you get them up.
