TAD’s Compact Reference speakers that I fell in love with the first day I heard them, and haven’t found anything that sounds better to my taste.

Accuphase flagship 50th Anniversary Preamplifier with state of the art dual balanced AAVA volume control. 

The C-3900 has been called the finest pre-amp in the world. https://trueaudiophile.com/accuphase-c-3900-the-finest-pre-amp-in-the-world/ I can’t say if this is true or not because I’ve only ever had a few pre-amps. But as expected it pairs beautifully with the A-300 monoblocs. 

In Japan it’s well known that nobody Class A better than Accuphase and nobody does digital better than Esoteric. I’m not a vinyl guy but I value the organic feel of analogue sources. This DAC is the best of both worlds - convenience of digital with analogue playback quality.

My Esoteric N01XDSE network DAC already has an award winning clock (the basis for the SE designation) so I didn’t expect the addition of a high precision 10MHz clock to make a huge difference. It was meant to be icing on the cake. In reality it was a significant jump in “naturalness”, there’s no other way to describe it. Everything sounded a little more “real”. A most delightful icing on the cake indeed.

Accuphase’s implementation of room correction technology, similar to Trinnov or Dirac. Works very well without any unwanted effects of timing and impulse correction. It had a bigger impact before my room was well treated and calibrated. Now I rarely use this device, less is more.  

2x Accuphase PS-1250 power conditioners, that clean and generates and perfect sine wave using waveform shaping technology that doesn’t affect dynamics. In my experience, clean power is an essential part of maximizing system performance. 

For the same reason, I run a dedicated line from the distribution panel (Doepke Audio RCCB) to the system using high gauge solid copper cable (Oyaide FS EE 2.6 v2) to minimize noise from other circuits in the home.

State of the art 8K D-ILA home theater projector that throws a very cinematic and pleasing image. 

This is one of those rare cases where the product name sort of makes sense. Mad, Extreme, Video Processing that can cause Envy :-D

In my system, the most important feature is MotionAI. I’m very sensitive to motion judder and this is the best motion interpolation available, as far as I know. Sure all the other features are great, the tone mapping and everything else MadVR can do. But MotionAI is the killer feature, at least for me. 

State of the art reference quality media player that enables download and playback of studio master quality high bitrate 4K media. 

High quality HDMI audio extractor and reclocker that I use instead of an AVR.  Lipsync can be an issue without an AVR, so I also use an AES EBU matrix mixer (MiniDSP DDRC88BM) to sync everything up nice.

2x highly musical subs to fill in the low end, mainly for movies. For stereo, the CR1TX do not require augmentation for nearly all types of music.
