This system has evolved over 36 years. The PIoneer tuner was purchased in 1972. The Infinity RS1B was purchased in 1985. The VTL Deluxe 300 replace a Conrad Johnson Premier 5. The Spectral DCM 20 replaced a Audio Research SP 11 which replaced a SP 10. The Cosmos IV replaced a Star Saphire. The Titan i replaced a 5 year old Lyra Titan. The SME V was purchased when that arm first came out. The last addition was the Hovland Music Grove 2 phono cable which replaced the VDH cable which came with the SME V. The room is custom built and measures 32 long, by 10' high and 17 feet wide with a sky light over the equipment side of the room. Custom built record cabinets line one wall. The TV and equipment stands are custom made of 1 1/2" particle board with a laminate finish. I keep looking for a replacement for the RS1B without spending $150,000 but so far I have not found anything with the bass and dynamic response of the RS1B. This is a vinyl system but the TV in incorporated into it for two channel use. I gave up on the 5 channel system since the extra 3 channels degraded the sound quality.
