Description

This system was upgraded over a period of eight years. The only futher change I plan to make is to upgrade the van den Hul phono cable that came with the SME to Nordost Tye. Otherwise very happy with the sound.

Those VAs are beautiful speakers in a beautiful room. That rug on the wall looks incredible, is there a history there?

What music do you listen to?

Did your VA dealer do a Sumiko Master Set for you? For me that was the biggest single step in getting the most out of my Beethoven Baby Grands.
