After many trials and tribulations and lost dollars I have finally assembled a system that transports me in the concert hall or recording studio and stirs up emotion and makes me say – Wow! My only limitation with having a hi-end system in a swank modern DC Condominium is not having a dedicated listening room to fully enjoy and maximize the capability of the system or to do the tweaks necessary to get the best out of the system. Nevertheless I have overcome these challenges – even the WAF and have a system that is integrated into the houses decorum and allows me to hear into the music and gives me joy. Here is my system along with a few pictures.
