Very impressive!!!   I'd like to hear it.  I have much less expensive partially SOTA system, definitely high end with matching listening room.   I heard the Horizon and VAC equipment with my speakers-WOW dynamics that made my head spin (so did my Westminster Labs equipment with the Horizon).  Also, want to step up to Kronos turntables but for annual maintenance potential issues for me. Love the sound!
