A-Z then back
How many of you good people have swapped up to what would be considered a great set up and then settled on something far more modest. I feel I have. Started many years who with a full akai separates including turntable and wharfedale laser 60 speakers ( still got them in my barn ) some years on got into valves, horns and open baffles. Had some valve amps and several valve phono stages, bottle head 2A3, j sound labs 300B, amplifon 6C33C, PX25 mono's built by Jim turner for Jim Carfrae's Carfrae horns, to name a few. With the right speakers the PX25 were the best. Now I'm settled with a Sony 6055 receiver, using the internal phono stage driving Zu Omen, Yulong Dac ( I've had for many years ) Denon DVD/ sacd player( rarely used ) I'm as happy as a pig in shit and not looking for anything.
I suppose I should mention the only thing I haven't downgraded is the Denon DP80, got to draw the line somewhere
I would be interested to hear of others that have found contentment at a lower level kit wise.
