    I'm Richard.

    Default Got there

    Probably a stupid question... cos we all suffer from the disease .. but is there anyone out there who is really happy with their set up & no longer feel the need to change a box/item in the system.
    I'm not talking tweaks/ cables/ foo but the base elements ... sources, amp, speakers.

    With my headphone setup I'm there. Last thing I'm changing (as far as I'm aware) is my interconnects
    Hifi: Innuos Zen Mini MKIII > Fisual Hollywood Optical > Quad Vena II > Custom Clyde interconnects > TA Monoblocks > Tellurium Black > Reiver Millburn MK II (Custom super tweeters & TQ Black Jumpers).

    Headphone Rig: MacBook Pro/Google CCA > Fisual Hollywood Optical > Beresford SEG > Custom Clyde interconnects > Beresford Capella > Sennheiser 700s

    Surprisingly - yes.

    Having heard a couple of mega cost systems recently I am happy that my system offers a very large percentage of that performance.


    I'd better update my profile.

    no way richard ..... to much lovely stuff out there to try to be satified with what you have !!!
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Speakers might be my only change but the more I try others, the less inclined I am to change my current ones.

    I'll be sticking with the rest of the system bar a couple of upgrades to the unit's themselves.

    Another phonostage is on the Theoretical table but that's a one off (two off maybe) and WON'T be replicated on any sort of scale. That will be as well as rather than instead of my current unit.

    The Kb will be getting a FGS stylus and Vienna upgrade.

    Other than that, yes. VERY happy.

    Content with mine for a good while now....but I do like a dabble now and then. Got a lenco again to have a play with, but it won't displace the Denon. Also building some speaker boxes for Lii audio fast 10 full range drivers, coming next week.
