I started this system back in 1998. The only original piece to remain is the Acurus Act 3. I upgraded the software a few years back and still have not found any other processor that beats it. As you can see, I'm a big Blue Circle fan. My wife doesn't mind all of the equipment, just as long as I keep them contained within the rack.
Nice system, I have always enjoyed the comments and articles for the Blue Circle gear. Have to ditto your comments on the Act 3. I really enjoy mine, mostly used for surround sound, but works nicely for 2 channel. Good your rack is not a single unit.:) happy listening.
