This whole system makes me say "wow!" I want it and I haven't even listened to it.

Very nice!Here's what makes me say 'wow'.
A 51 year old TD125 Thorens table with a 51 year old S.M.E. 3009 Pre-Improved tonearm and a brand new Benz-Micro Gull-Wing cartridge mounted in an Orsonic head shell. The rendered blissful sound quality provided by such a high-end cartridge does not out-class the table or arm to be too old or out of its lofty league.

Pretty amazing!Sansui AU-X1 - Everyone that hears one says "WOW" and every tech that puts one on the bench says "WOW".
Last year I made the big jump to separates, and it was really worth it.
Thanks to a meticulous restoration by Dave Gillespie on both my 1960 Fisher 400CX preamp and 1955 Fisher 50az monoblocks, I am sitting on cloud nine. Smooth as silk, powerful and punchy, they match up perfectly with my EV Interface D speakers.

Sweet!I know I once put my modified Mark Levinson 332 up here before but this time I want introduce you to the rest of the restored vintage equipment family. Back in the day Mark Levinson owners would have looked down their noses at SAE gear. I decided to invite them all to the party and guess what? They get along just fine.
