Audio Nirvana has arrived. Being involved in this hobby for the past 40 years proves that this is a journey and not a destination. Over these years I have had countless iterations of too many systems to mention. Over the past 15 years I have become a loyal fan of Wilson Audio speakers and have steadily moved up their production line. Four years ago I never thought it could get any better than my Wilson X-2 Alexandria series l until I heard the X-2 series ll this year. Suffice it to say the X-2 Series ll speakers were added in October of this year in Black Almondine and now occupy the center of my sound syatem. For the past 3 years I have been seriously considering a return to vinyl and was ready to make the move until I began reading about the resurgence of reel to reel tape recorders and The Tape Project. Recently I found a fully restored Studer A810 tape recorder and added it to my system as well as becoming a Charter Subscriber to The Tape Project. Needless to say I was smitten. Recently I also swapped out my much beloved Meitner digital gear for the newer Playback Designs PDS MP-S5 and have been more than happpy with that decision. Earlier this year the video side of my room underwent a complete change and installed the Sim2 C3X1080 triple chip DLP with an Isco lll anamorphic lens. This allows me to enjoy either 16 X 9 format as well as 2.35 on a CIH Stewart Firehawk G3 132 inch curved screen. When I did this I upgraded the subwoofer(s) in my room by swapping the Wilson XS for two JL Audio Gotham subs. It took the better part of four months to get these subs dialed in for my room but once done they are simply better than I could have ever imagined. As far as what the future holds in the hobby, I am in a holding pattern but I never say never.

Hi Oneobgyn,

As I can see we both enjoy systems which are to a great extent similar. My system is Alexandria speakers, Lamm ML3, Kondo M1000 Mark II pre with phonostage and Step up transformer, the three pieces DCS Scarlatti CD, Kuzma Stabi XL turntable with Kuzma Airline tonearm and Kondo cartridge and a second Kuzma 4point arm with Koetsu Jade Platinum cartridge that is connected through a Zanden 1200 mk III phonostage. As an exotic touch I have a TEAC X2000R R2R. Interconnects and speaker cables are Nordost Odin while the power cables are Valhala. The AC current goes through a special UPS and a galvanic isolated transformer. My stands are Pagode by Finite Elemente. Having described the system, I would be glad to hear your opinion if you have tried the copper plate GM70s and also whether you have any experience with Telefunkens ECC803s 12ax7. Have you had any failures of any of the 6N30P and if so whether one need to change the whole quad or just the failed tube (in other words are the tubes of the extra quad supplied by Vladimir with the same characteristics making them interchangable). Any other thoughts for possible upgrades ideas or problems will be welcomed. rgds, Assenismyname
