Sonus Faber Guarneri system
In my small dedicated listening room with vault ceilings this is the best system so far. Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage's which were some of the last pair to be brought into the US along with a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke and a CAT Sig pre-amp with rolled in NOS Mullards and NOS GE long plates. The Linn LP12 valhalla is the front-end. Alternate amp: ARC D70 Mk2.magic midrange and a marvel with the SFGH's
