"Well, after a solid 20 years in this hobby, I beleive I am done"
But, I guess I really was not...
The most significant change has been the addition of a computer based set up. I cannot believe how good it sounds using the Cary's DAC. I have a Kimber USB (the new silver USB has been ordered) to a Bel Canto 24/29 Converter directly into the CDP's digital in. For storage I have a Licie 1TB Ext HD. I would guess I listen to my copied CDs 90% of the time.
Also new, is the Cary 306 Pro and more recently the Bryston 28B-SSTs and the Audiav Zarcona Rack...
Since the BEFORE photo, the room has been painted, artwork placed on the walls as well as misc other items...
I am using this as a sever only>Kimber USB> Bel Canto 24/96 > Cary DAC

I must for any good Computer based set up.

Definitive Technology Mythos I
Left and Right Channel but set to "small" so they work will with the Super Cube.
If you are considering amps...then have you considered combining your HT and two channel systems - that is what I did. Get a quality DSP preamp and off you go...just a thought ( a shame to park those Verity's when you watch a movie...after all 50% of the movie experience is sound!). Whatever you decide you have a great setup and a nice room. Congrats!
