I wanted a system that would do justice to my extensive collection of lp's and cd's. I was also interested in experimenting with vacuum tubes and planar speakers. I started with a very basic system that I bought used on eBay and gradually upgraded a piece at a time.

Interconnects are a combination of Audio Research Litzlinks and Audioquest.

I recently upgraded the Phono preamp to an Audio Research Reference Phono preamp. Absolutely amazing piece of gear. Next up I will be replacing the ARC CD 2 with a Linn Unidisc 1.1. After that , it's the ARC LS 25 Mk II with the new ARC Reference 3. Probably pause for a while. Except of course for a plasma tv to complement the Unidisc. :o)
