Music...... That is what this nicely designed system is all about. It doesn't Screem: LOOK at ME !! Instead, it whispers: LIsten.. to me. This system is a working model of what the word "Synergy" means. From the splendidly detailed and superbly controlled amplifier to the insanely captivating DeCappo BE's... This system is a little slice of Heaven for us.
A SET sounding, and powerful 70 watt amp that is the best that I have heard. It has a large soundstage and incredible grunt in the low end. The mids and highs are just to die for. It is a downright pleasure to use and listen to. Google out the reviews and prepare to be stunned.
Reference 3A DeCapo BE
Simply the best I have had the pleasure to own or hear. Just addicting
McIntosh MR-78
The best.... Period.

Really a musical CDp. Perhaps that's an oxymoron, but this thing has a bit of the Analogue Soul that is sooo missing in many (even upper crust) CDPs. Two sets of analogue outs, plus a RCA digital. I use re-issue Mullard: 12ax7 Tubes (2)
Nakamichi MR-1
This deck stuns me every time I use it. I could listen to it all night, and sometimes do. If you think a cassette deck can't do brushes on cymbals, just try the MR-1
Jolida Glass FX Tube Dac 2
Open and smooth.. Does what tubes that you choose want it to do. Very well built with premium, parts.
Skylan Four post...dedicated for DeCapos
I feel that Skylans don't ring like Sound Anchor and some others. These stands just let the DeCapos stand in a silent space.

One hundred bucks gets you tunes all day and night for nothing. Best deal in Audio. I listen to WWNO HD3 for Jazz that is CD quality. Hundreds of stations to choose from.. Plus video ! Couldn't get rid of XM Radio fast enough. It has a Toslink out to use with my TUBE Dac. Pure bliss.
Nakamichi CR-2a
Another Nakamichi . Just great for doing tape to tape Xfers to the Nakamichi MR-1. Just a two head, but a very musical machine. ... Nicely Analogue !!

Beautiful deck.. Both in music and looks. This one has the upgrade DC200 mother and control box. A real piece of work
AKG K701
Wonderful set of cans... I also use a little Creek OBH 11 with them. You can listen for long periods of time without fatigue...

This arm could pick the snot out of a sleeping amoeba's nose... And still leave it in its dreams. I feel as though I am dreaming too, every time I use it. A sure masterpiece of thought, engineering and application.
Creek OBH-11
A great little bundle of sonic wonder. This is the new and upgraded version, with the prettier face and on/off switch. You forget all that just as soon as you hear the sound. No, it won't drive a pair of Apogee Scintillas, but it leaves nothing to be wanted playing my AKG K701,s.
Grado Reference series Platinum 1
Musical-musical-musical. Not much left to say. It's Musical. It takes the music out of the grooves and slaps you about the ears with it. Is a 2500.00 tonearm overrated for this 350.00 wooden bodied cartridge ? Not in th
