Description

Primary thrust is two channel music reproduction and secondarily Cinema. I believe my next change will involve tubes, the speakers are relatively effecient and would work well with Cary Amps

I did a quick retail count, and it is about $55K, although I bought most of it at Audiogon, so, I would guess that it is only 30K.
To be specific,I don't want to think about it, my wife can read my mind!!!!

Hello All,
Well, in adding it all up I seem to be up to $25,000 this time. Certainly not in the same class as Brainwater of course, however I am very happy with the quality of the audio pkg I have assembled. I suppose it is time to begin again. Any suggestions? Tubes perhaps, more focus on two channel I dunno something?
Regards/ Bill

Hello Atagi,
Since all the expensive "Mods" go through a 23 gague silver wire to the new $55 RCAs, I doubt the (mods that is) efficacy. That said, it sounds very good! Still does not compare to a $10,000 Ref machine, but for the money, good.
Thanks for asking/ Bill
