Description

The Amazon Refernz rekindled my love for vinyl after a 20 year hiatus. The VRS server wrings soul and beauty out of digital media. The Shindo Giscours and Sinhonias have brought me to the end of a long journey in search of my reference electronics. The Devore Silverbacks simply let the music come forward.

Update: Thanks to Matt Rotunda, I just upgraded to the Shindo turntable. Pictures to follow.

Update: Mach2/Amarra software/Amarra DAC replaces the VRS/JRiver/Lynx/Antelope Clock digital front end.

Good description of what you hear with your turntable, It's obvious you're a music lover.

Sorry I did not see your system earlier, it's an embarrassment to have skipped over it when it's so nice. Sometimes the new Audiogon format causes me to just glaze over rather than read everything :^).

Your wife did an incredible job with the design, does she like to listen with you?

I just found your system, it is absolutely beautiful.
