Description

Well, it has all changed again, I should just relist it as it has changed so many times since creating this as the "3rd" system. One thing is for sure, Ever Evolving has been accurate.

Agree with Ellery. The Mac looks fantastic in your cabin, Brian!

Brian, I always enjoy checking in on your virtual system. Your personal gear evolution is fun to watch and always informative. Plus the house is just plain awesome! That big MAC looks fantastic sitting in your cabin.

Brian,

I saw a gorgeous Luxman tuner for sale on Audiogon a few weeks ago. Was that the one you nabbed? I've always loved my Virtual Dynamics power cords, both Audition and Nite. I used to own AU24 interconnects as well. How do the Davids sound in comparison?

It's always fun to see your system evolve. Nice job!

Wow, Brian! Mass changes is right. Looks great! How long have you had the all Classé set up? Have you had the time to make some good comparisons to your former system?

I'll also be interested to hear your comments on going to a uniform wire configuration. I've played with that aspect in my own wiring scheme.

Have fun and keep the updates coming! Beautiful!

Brian, every time I drop in here to have a look at your system I always come away thinking, "this guy has got it right".

Creating a nice environment is just as important as creating a good listening room.

And don't listen to that Tiredude either, heheh. Keep changing your gear, I enjoy witnessing the evolution.

The Mark Levinson is gone. A Jeff Rowland has arrived. And the Electrocompaniet endures. Nice! And it looks so relaxing with the blinds closed.
