Description

Next up will be a tube preamp, probably a McIntosh but I'm still researching and recovering from the cost of the newly added B&W 800Ds. I'm also exploring the ModWright Transport (tube converted logitech transport) because of the stellar reviews I've read. At some time I'll probably consider new speaker cables as well. But I'm thrilled with the system I've assembled so far. The music is astonishingly good and will only get better as the new speakers accumulate more hours of break-in time. To be sure there are few areas more subjective than high-end stereo gear but to my tastes this is approaching my ideal system.

You can never have too much vegetation in a listening room. Very nice. I wish I had enough space to do likewise

Can not help but think your very nice system makes the plants grow and brings a smile too all who see and hear it. Happy listening.

System looks great. I had a system set up very similarly years ago, till my son watered the plants........ And my amplifier.... End of amp and plants.

Awesome setup! nothing more than you need, but still great quality.

And I think the plants look awesome! I'm a big fan of "indoor gardens"
