Description

Built this system around the insanely great Yamamoto A-011 2a3 SET amp with gain control and EML 2a3 solid plate tubes. I just received the Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC and it sounds very good with only about 30 hours of break in. The speakers are Cain and Cains Super Abbeys and Bailey Subwoofer. I just purchased a pair of Devore Fidelity Gibbon 3 stand mounted speakers to use during the Holiday season when space in my small 14x16 room is at a premium. Looking to upgrade the transport to something more appropriate in the near future, any suggestions for a reasonably priced top loader?

Dear Garry, thanks for the kind remarks. I admire your choices for your three systems. I had considered the Tones and the Aurums as well. Also owned a REL Stadium 3 and Strata 3 and loved them both. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Best Regards, Jim.
