Three years in the making. When I first got into this hobby, it was the Marantz stuff that made me say "ooh". The journey has been fun, and I'm really happy to be at this point. It sounds wonderful.

That's 90% of my listening. The other stuff you see is:
Yamaha a-s801 integrated (under the 300DC). I use this for digital / spotify / TV optical.
Anthony Gallo Acoustics CL-4 speakers. These have a nice soundstage, especially for heavier rock, but pound for pound, the ADS are noticeably clearer. I use these mostly w/ the Yamaha.
B&W DM 602 S2. Not in use now. But they look nice sitting there.
Cheap Teac CD player (under the 3800). Nothing special.
Cheap powered sub. Neither set of speakers really need it, but it doesn't hurt to have a slight bottom.
Denon DP300f turntable. Backup / beater table.
I also have a McIntosh C26 pre and a cheap Onkyo amp not in use now.
My room is my office / mancave. I'm setup a little sideways, with the gear to the right of the seating, w/ the speakers/TV (and gaming consoles/etc) in front of me. I dig it - made it a place I'm very comfortable in, and considering I work here, that's important.
