Found this site last night during a search on dCS Vivaldi. I recognize many of the names but will still introduce myself. I have been involved for about 24 years starting from my first purchase at Lyric (Bryston 3B, B&W DM640, Sony CD555ES and Carver preamp). Still have the first 2 pieces. I also enjoy cars (AM V12V is current favorite), watches (my favorite I own is PAM 317 but original seadweller is right up there) golf and boating.
currently i have 4 systems that get regular use
in my cabin I have:
ARC REF 40
ARC Ref 150
Wilson Duette on dedicated stand
ARC Ref DAC
Naim NDX/555PS
Naim HDX-SSD with QNAP 559V2
transparent cabling
Russound distributed sound system with Rotel amps and B&W inwall speakers (6 zones)
main system(hybrid 2CH/HT)
Ayre KX-R
Linn LP12SE/EkosSE/Akiva/radikal
ARC Ref Phono 2SE
Vivaldi DAC/Clock/Upsampler (beta testing the app now)
Ref 250s
Ayre MX-R
Wilson Alexia (just upgraded from Sasha's)
Naim HDX-SSD for media server with QNAP 559V2
Classe CT-SSP
Ayre DX-5
Runco Vistage 63HD with DHD4 Controller
Runco VX-11d projecor with DHD4 controller
Stewart motorized drop down screen
Wilson Center3 and suround2 speakers
2 JL F212 subs
ARC DS450M-center
ARC DS225-Surround
transparent and vahalla cabling
HT goes through Ayre preamp in passthrough mode and typically uses the MX-Rs....for dedicated 2 Channel i switch to ARC 250s and only the Alexia's are active. Ref Phono and DAC go directly into Ayre preamp

Naim CD555/PS555DR
Naim NDS/PS555DR

Woo WES/Stax 009 (also have Omega V1 and V2 but 009s are much better, just very revealing of bad sources)
Family Room
Classe SSP-800,CDP-502, CA-2200, CA-3200
Thiel Powerpoints and SS2 sub
Runco 50" plasma
