Description

Built around the original Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage's along with a Jeff Rowland model 8t modded with choke for ss and Jadis JA30 mk2 with KT150's for tubes. This system floats my boat as well as any system I have heard in the last 25 years!
Added: Esoteric D-05 DAC, Esoteric DV60 as transport, Sablon Corona Reserva, Linn LP12 Radikal D with Karousel, CAT SL1 Renaissance BPX with NOS Telefunken and Valvo tubes. 
Graceline cables.

Nice looking system with great gear you have there!
I bet it sounds great in a dedicated room, my dad has same cart as you do and it sounds great, I also really like the Sonus sound...you are a lucky man.
