The real question is, are you happy with it?

The real question is, are you happy with it?

I went from an Onkyo 7.1 modern system with cheap Infinity surround speakers. This sounds, looks and feels so much better. It makes me want to hear/test other old equipment. Super curious what a tube amp would sound like.

 

[Silentnet]

Tubes are a thing, sure...

But you should really check out planars.

If you're looking to be ruined with regard to all other setups I can get you there quick.

Sweet!

Nice system... you're well on your way to audio obsession (in my household it's referred to as "The Sickness").

You'll enjoy it here... we're a world-class group of enablers. More is never enough!

He sure to check out the music forums also... very knowledgeable members across all genres.

If this "hobby" had the same side effects as heroin most of us would have od'ed long ago. AK would be a very small group of survivors and more of an obituary than anything else. Be warned that there is no 10 step group to help you through this. We are just a bunch of sic individuals with computers and a passion for music and things that reproduce it. Opinions may vary.

The first step is acceptance: No system will ever be perfect no matter the tweaking...

Nice setup. Looks good and you like the way it sounds. If in a week you've found a new piece to try, you've got "the sickness".
