Well after 10 years here is the final result of dreaming, reading, researching auditioning, trial and error with JBL to Klipsh to Acoustic Energy, Harman Kardon and getting a serious bite from the bug and what Hi=Fi really means, here is my system that WOWs me every time i sit in my sweet spot. It is amazing that we can reproduce this level of music in our own rooms now a day. To top it off the W factor enjoys it and approves it A lotú. Obviously the quest for perfection enables this hobby and passionate to grow and that is the next steps,a better turntable... baby steps, need to keep in mind that even if the wife to be appreciates and encourages this passion, there is a wedding in the horizon that needs financing. But hey, if shes going to be this supportive she is worth every sacrifice. Cheers all you audiophiles and comments are always welcomed.
Just picked up today... not sure yet about it, find it too SOFT. got a feeling that the tube amps might not be doing it justice. Any suggestions!!
Rotel RB-1080
What a diference this baby made.... The B&W are singing again, I will miss the glow of my ASLW8, but they will find a new home in the guess room with my old Aegis 1 and Arcam cd player and the nad pre... so when the guests sleep over they can fall asleep to some Bach

Nicely done. I was curious about that Audio Analog integrated myself. I ended up getting a Cairn Class A 4808 for use in my little studio system (with Linn Tukans) and it is lovely and seky looking to boot. I really like how it sounds with the B&Ws. I am going to try take the Tukans aktiv, so I am going to spend some time with the with the Cairn and the CDM1NTs. A little color may be just the ticket for them.
