I'm glad to present my simple system here. It's based on a digital source, the wonderful Sony HAP Z1-ES, a DIY passive pre-amp with one IN/OUT line battery powered and remote controlled volume, McCormack DNA-2 amp and Thiel CS 3.6 loudspeakers. Recently I made by myself the table and the amplifier stand that you can see in the pictures, to make it I used stainless stell, aluminium and carbon fiber.
Today (23th April) I added the Doge 8 Clarity 2019 Edition tube preamp with Psvane tubes, burn in just started, can't have a clear opinion yet....I will be back with my finding once the Doge will be settled.....for sure I love how it looks, hope the same for SQ.
My last touch.....a genuine red Stratocaster in my listening room help me to believe live music is here. For me it's the symbol of my loved group....Sultans of Swing, Dire Straits of course!!

Since around two months I have added a pair of JBL 4367 for live moments need, the very high spl and great sound quality these fantastic loudspeaker is able to deliver is impressive, when you push the volume they bring you directly on stage with your preferred band! Neverthless the Thiel 3.6s will remain with me forever, I still love their absolutely refined sound over many more expensive and modern speakers.

After long time dreaming, I succeeded in purchase a beautiful pair of Thiel CS7.2 in Morado finish and spectacular shape.
Unbelievable the new sound quality level I can listen now, amazing! Jim Tiel has been a real genius and his speakers continue to be a reference still nowaday, I can't imagine how much I should spend today to beat these 7.2's
