    • Marten Design Duke 2
    Wonderful standmounts which are highly resolving. My endgame speakers. 
    • Graham Audio LS5/9 in Ebony
    Great sounding speakers with BBC heritage. The LS5/9 replaced the Harbeth SHL5+ and SHL5 which I have owned for more than a decade.
    • Luxman L-590AXII
    One word, stunning.
    • Luxman DA-06 DAC
    • Chord Electronics Ltd. QBD-76
    Very organic sounding DAC producing a high quality sound. Connected to the laptop.
    • Krell KPS-30i
    Probably my last CD player. Great sound and build. Replaced my Sony XA7ES.
    • Naim Audio NAC-282-NAPSC2
    Great Preamp which replaces the NAC 202
    • Naim Audio NAP-250 DR
    Upgraded from the NAP 200. Main improvements in the bass, overall better layering, detail and texture from top to bottom.
    • Naim Audio Hicap DR
    Replaced the Dual Teddycap
    • Sonneteer Orton
    Nice little British integrated.
    • Acrolink 7N-PC9700
    • Acrolink 8N-PC8100
    • Acrolink 8N-A2080III Evo
    XLR Balanced Interconnect
    • Wireworld Silver Elektra 8
    • Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB
    • Chord Company Signature XL speaker cable
    • Chord Company Signature Tune Aray
    Interconnects which replaced the standard Naim cables
    • IsoAcoustics Gaia
    Gaia II on Marten Duke 2
    Gaia III on Graham LS5/9
    • Furutech GTX-D NCF Outlet + GTX Wall Plate + 104-D Cover
    Highly recommended outlet which brought a HUGE difference in my system when compared to the standard switched wall outlet. When combined with Acrolink cords it is heaven.

Really nice system and sound treatment. Well done.

Noticed you have two images where the Harbeth are spaced differently. What improved when you moved the Harbeths closer together?

Nice system Hamico.

Love the Plinus SA-MKII and ARC pre amp paired with the PMC LB1 Signature.

How does Pat Metheny sound on your system?
