My system for daily use at the office. i wanted to so something entirely different from my home system, so i decided to go tube-and-vinyl, even though i feel that digital/solid state is truer to real life. the system is very pleasant to listen to. lush, colored, euphonic, and forgiving. easy to listen to, for sure. not nearly as resolving, dynamic, or detailed as my home system, but it doesn't cost but a tiny fraction of what my home system does. certainly a great way to pass the day at work!

the Michell really sounds for the price. the suspension is SO easy to set up compared to my old linn lp12 and the sound is comparable. (not qute as good as the lp12, though)

the Reson cart is what impresses me the most about the system. it costs 515 and sounds nearly identical to a linn Arkiv, only not quite as resolving. for the price, it's hard to beat.

the Jolida is a great little amp. reasonably priced and fun to play with. plus, the glowing of the tubes is a new sensation for me. it's kinda soothing. between that and the spinning gyro, it's a wonder i don't hypnotize myself. i might need to be careful opening spam emails at work. i might be highly succeptible to suggestion and decide that i do, in fact, want to ivest in penny stocks poised to explode while popping m4le-enh4nc3m3nt p1lls and sending money to H0t n1ger1aN t33n5! hmm . . . .bad idea.

the Rega Aras are the best small speakers for the price i've heard and are exceptionally sensitive to upstream components. i've never heard a cheap pair of speakers that can sound so different with top-flight electronics. they're best close to a wall, but i don't have the luxury in the office, which is why i use the vulcan sub.
