So, I've been at this for awhile and have spend tons of coin on tubes and tube gear along with cabling and single driver speakers. I loved my system.
With three little boys growing up fast I decided to cash out and buy some decent photography equipment. I saved my turntable only and am playing it through a MF X-LP -> Sony Receiver and old Infinity speakers.
Clearly, the sound is not what I was used to but, honestly, I still listen to tons of records every weekend and, after a few Belgian Ales, I'm tapping my toes and enjoying my albums like I used to.
AND, I'm looking at pictures I took of the fellas and editing them for printing.
Sure, I can't wait to replenish the system but, seriously, the marginal difference in sound is very minor to my tin ears.
After some 5 years I still find your system along with Bwhite and James1969 the most interesting in all of audiogon. A great system to listen to music on no doubt.
