Current state of my 2 channel system.  Set a budget of $10,000 all in and managed to stay slightly under that by careful shopping, mostly on this site.  Focal and Marantz pair very well together.  The Music Hall TT punches above its weight class and the Clearaudio Maestro V2 mated with the built in phono stage of the Marantz produces amazing clarity and detail.

Hope to post photos of the room soon ( not an ideal space) but still a work in progress.

Overall this system exceeded my expectations given my budget.
