I am so pleased, it will be difficult to swap anything out. The only possibility is a set amp with a little more power. The Larry Moore 300B-XLS is about 13w/ch and has been my primary amp for 3+ years.
SOTA Redbook player with an equally impressive USB DAC.
Thorens TD-160
Rebuilt & modified; with new RCA outputs, mogami wire, and new headshell wire.
Sumiko Pearl
Very nice w/ the Thorens.
Sony SCD-333es
A nice 5 play & for the occasional sacd.
Aesthetix Calypso
As many have reviewed, excellent QPR. Allows most of the details with smooth, almost natural delivery. Opted for this because of remote & balanced output.
Audio Mirror 45W SET
6C33C SET Mono Block Amps, 45W/Channel.
Ascendo C8 Renaissance
Large 3/4 way monitors. Sound & behave like 'almost full range' floor-standers.
Harmonic Technology Cyber Light
Fiber Optic design

6N OCCC, my favorite, that I can afford. They are pretty close to the mega $ cables in terms of allowing all the music, naturally.

6N OCCC

Sistrum SP-004
Excellent stability for the amp & cdp
Stereo Knight Silverstone Magnetic Passive
Transformer based Copper version passive with 0 or 6dB of gain. Clearly in the same league as Slagle & Bent Audio. This is an excellent mate to the Audio Mirror amps.
Larry Moore 300B SET Ultra Fi Seebring
A very clean design with short point to point wiring, James Audio Iron, Mundorf Silver/Oil, over spec'ed parts, with EML 300B-XLS which gives approximately 13W/Ch. Linear in nature and very nicely extends on top & bottom. After 6 years, still my favorite amp.
Hypex N Core NC400
N Core NC400 monoblock amps. Class D, DIY - 200w/ch mono amps. My new summertime amps! Ultra low distortion makes for great sound.
