Well, starting over after having to sell off my gear due to a divorce I have managed to make one hell of a comeback. This is still a work in progress with a couple of dream pieces already in the loop. Those being the Vandersteen 5A's, Aesthetix Rhea, Linn LP12/Ittok/Troika combo and my JVC DLA-RS20. This system is obviously a dual role system. The rack was purchased from an architect that had designed it for his room and then ended up going a different direction.
The pieces that are still to come include a McCormack DNA-500 amp for the 5A's. An Aesthetix Calypso or Ayre K5xeMP to mate with the Rhea, Cardas cables and a Vandy VCC-5.
I will update this as my system continues to morph. Thanks for looking. Happy Holidays!
