Mike's system

What’s staying:

Kronos Pro Turntable
Avid Acutus Turntable with dual SME arms
Studer 810 R2R
Doshi Tape Pre
Aurender
Everest 8000
Shunyata Omega cables (power and digital)
Home Theater system

.....

Will be about 2 months I suspect to put it all together.

Why the change?

Why not? If you owned a car dealership, I bet you wouldn’t drive the same car for 5 years. Also, MBL asked me a couple of weeks ago if I had a pair of 101e mk2’s in black/gold I would sell to a customer on the west coast since production on new ones is months and months and months behind. I still have a black/silver pair in the store anyway. I figured...sure, why not? I’ll just try something else.

Loved my MBL system, but hey, time to try something different (for fun).
 
+1 on the Giya G1 Spirits. Even if that isn't the answer, it should be.

Mike, I love your perspective [emoji3].

It’s maybe, because it’s close to my own approach. While I don’t own a candy store, I’m not trying to build a destination system. It’s more about enjoyment of trying out new things once in a while, and experiencing different systems in my own environment. Every step is a learning experience.

Ha! We actually did give away a pair of Harbeth’s once at a store event. The guy who won them turned around and sold them. [emoji35]

I’m my own worst customer.

Nothing decided. My system currently comprises two turntables and a reel to reel sitting on the floor.

Thinking:

Kharma, Harbeth, Pass, Luxman, Sim, Classe, Boulder, NAIM, Block, MSB, Aurender I have Vivid and NAIM in the family room, so maybe try something different in the listening room.
