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.

I have the same speakers - and have had Rowland again but not at the same time as you do.

Nice system! - aalso like the CAT preamp but never have had one.

Congrats!
