Upgraded the system with Audio Note Japan Ongaku , CEC TL0X Cd Transport, DCS ELGAR packaghe , clearaudio turntable with Gold Finger cartridge . The LP collection is slowly growing . Few items left the system.
Still in love with this hobby and enjoy my music as always and forever......
I think my friends are missing some points here. through years of experience I have come to the conclusion that there is no such a thing as perfect amp or pre amp or loudspeaker or cd player. Specific high end audio gears are designed for specific type of music and I have the luxury of switching to my options of my preferred amp or pre or cd player for that specific type of music I wish to listen and never miss the beauty of it. The problem is loosing acoustic nirvana which is ok !
CEC TL0x is a belt drive cd transport . very transparent , revealing, precise with a very high resolution . it is from a very small company in Japan and I first heard about it in Stereophile a few years ago. I use it with Accuphase DP101 converter and sometimes with DCS converter. The sound is incredible . Unfortunately very very expensive !!!!!
Thanks. I am enjoying all of my amps and pre amps and speakers. I occasionally switch them and since I believe there is no such a thing as perfect amp or pre amp or speakers this gives an opportunity to change from one to another. Do you know persian calligraphy ? Thanks again for your comment !
Thanks! SE tube amps are not really powerful enough to handle the full cresendo on orchestral work with MAXX . I however enjoy them very much on chamber and vocal music . The air tight ATM3 is 110 W in push pull mode and easily handles the MAXX. The Epsilons are also great as planar speakers with Accuphase A50v driving woofer and Air Tights driving mid/tweeter. All of these equipments have their own characteristics and feelings. The collection of over 7000 classical LPS is a result of over 30 years of carefully selecting and reviewing around the globe and a real treasure.
