Well, you sound like you are in the running, along with a bunch of us, for most "unbalanced" system owner.

By the way, the $252,000 Gaku-On amp that was in the dealer's system is on loan from one of his customers. That amp is merely a backup amp in the customer's system. The customer has a tri-amped system that uses two Gaku-Ons, one for bass, the other for midrange, and a "cheap" Kageki on top. The Kageki is used instead of another Gaku-On because a real difference in sound was not discernable. I would nominate this owner as "most unbalanced," except for the fact that he can easily afford this system.

I also have a Debut vacuum table and a Vector arm, so I guess we both share the same kind of madness.

Not quite the most unbalanced system. I was at a dealership two weeks ago who had a set-up that utilized an Audionote M-10 linestage (@$50,000), an Audionote Gaku-On power amp ($252,000), front end componets that I cannot now recall, but not cheap, a set of speaker cables that cost $17,000, all hooked up to a $2,000 pair of Proac speakers.
