All my good gear went to pay for stuff for the wife during the separation. I'm now a true AK'er and hunting thrift stores and curb sides for my gear.

Wow, some nice stuff!

I haven't done a significant upgrade in a long time.

Rotel something or the other midgrade TT (possible SME arm) with a Pickering XV-15,

Sony ES model cd player, not bad, upgraded by Doc Audio,

Luxman C-120a pre,

Soundwave (Belles) Symphony 4 amp (200 wpc dual mono mosfet),

Magic cables that sing by themselves,

These. (Large, Trapeziod cabinets for 15" woofer and "econowave" top end, as attached in "Poll" thread.)

Still waiting on the woofers to come from PE, they're very popular and on back order. Supposed to ship on Thursday. Also still working on crossover set-up. Thought about using the econowave crossover, but I don't have the money budgeted for the Selenium drivers. I've had a pair of Altec 808-8a laying around I want to use in the meanwhile. Not sure how well they'll work with the EW x-over.

Well, I have two full systems, one modern Vandersteen/McIntosh based high end, one vintage Luxman/Revox/ADS and one based on these speakers (Traps.) and a pair of vintage Akai tube monoblocks in the making. So.........

The high end system is spectacular. The instruments just float in space out in the room. I also use it for two channel home theater. (This was put together back in my house flipping days. More prosperous times.).

The vintage Luxman system is a beautiful sounding system, but the imaging and soundstage lacks compared to the newer system. (What do you expect? It's nearly forty years old.)

And, of course the DIY tube/horn system is still under construction. So I have no idea what it sounds like yet. I also rebuilt the amps.

I got something none of you guys have - a Merrylander refurbished Sansui G9000 DB. It's in my main rig, along with a Pioneer PL-41 turntable w/Denon DL-160, a Virtue Audio Piano M1 CD player, Infinity Primus speakers and a Dayton Titanic MkIII 10" sub.

At the workbench and exercise area - H/K 330C, Sony ES CD player, and Energy C100 speakers.

I have a couple of other smaller systems in other rooms as well. A Yamaha and a Technics receiver, some Polk, JBL and KLH bookshelf speakers, with assorted DVD players as a sources.

Indeed I do. Rob worked his magic on the beast after it had gotten a bit long in the tooth. Replacing the big oval PS caps got a bit hairy, but Rob utilized the brute force approach with excellent results.

It's a thing of beauty IMHO (if you like big knobs). It's bigger and more powerful than I need, but my son wouldn't stand for my idea of selling it and replacing it with a modern integrated amp.
