Description

Following a temporary relocation and dismantling of my previous system, I have re-assembled a new system by upgrading critical components.

Only the turntable and DNA 500 Amplifier remain from my old system. The Vandersteen 5A's were previously in storage for a long time but now are installed and paired with the Modwright Tube Line Stage with external power supply, new balanced filters, acoustic zen double barrel shotgun and silver matrix balanced interconnects.

Still breaking in but very musical.

Opinions welcome.

System looks great.  How are you liking the Tel Wire AC cables?  Also curious to hear thoughts about the ModWright amp driving the 5As.
