This is a lovely tube system, TT, and speakers. 
I've always been interested in PrimaLuna's tube cdp's, even though they're not in vogue these days.

Hi rdKing, nice system, good choices...

An inquiry: On the Kimber, is it time to look for something more? I know that wire is a mine field - financially, for sure - but I think you are at the point where something in wire with greater harmonic complexity makes sense.

Also, a Shindo entry-level linestage might be something to begin to think about...

System edited again. Replaced the Lenco with a Garrard 301 in DIY soapstone plinth with Thomas Schick arm and Koetsu Urushi cart.

04rdking, I would appreciate if you can chime in on the comparison between the Trichord Dino and Heed Quasar phonostages. Is the Quasar a better unit compared to the Dino? Which unit is more dynamic, possess lower noise floor and doesn't sound harsh in the high frequencies? Your input would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Your tuner is an NAD 4020 or 4020A. Great tuner for cheap - I have two! Companion piece to the famous 3020 integrated.

I'd replace that table with a chair(haha) Looks good.

Nice looking system and Lenco
Did you build a CLD design for that plinth ?

Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely looking and no doubt sounding system. Can you share what tone arm you are running with the Lenco?

Kind Regards

Very nice system for sure. I image the Prologue offers more than ample muscle for your Proac.
How is the lower extension of your D15? I don't see how they play as low as their spec indicates (30Hz?). Just Curious.

Have Fun,

Nice system you got there. I was just wondering if you have tried a whole lot of tube integrateds with your Proac D15. I am building a list of tube integrateds to match my Proac Tablette 50 Sigs. I have several options in mind which include the Jadis Orchestra, Almarro 318B and Primaluna Prologue 1 and 2. I have tried a Plinius amp on the Tablette 50 Sigs and it seems like the sound is still a little bright in the midrange. I am looking for a smooth amp and would appreciate if you can advise whether the Primaluna Prologue 2 has ample smoothness and warmth for the Proacs. Thanks in advance.
