This system was upgraded over a period of eight years. The only futher change I plan to make is to upgrade the van den Hul phono cable that came with the SME to Nordost Tye. Otherwise very happy with the sound.

Those VAs are beautiful speakers in a beautiful room. That rug on the wall looks incredible, is there a history there?

What music do you listen to?

Did your VA dealer do a Sumiko Master Set for you? For me that was the biggest single step in getting the most out of my Beethoven Baby Grands.

There is no history to the rug, but it did make a small difference to the sound - better sound staging. I listen to all musical types including Pop, Jazz and Classical. Don't use the Levinson CD Player much anymore, as I find the LP system much more involving. As you can see, I have a particular interest in Nakamichi cassette decks. I now own four (Dragon, MR-1, DR-1 and RX-505). Regards.

The Denon cartidge is relatively expensive for that great SME table and arm. Did you try other cartridges? What made you settle on the Denon? How do like the arm?

Thanks,

Charlie

Great looking system. Is that a hooka sitting behind the speakers?

Of the 4 Naks you use. Which is the easiest to use, maintain, with equally good sound, easy on the pocket and easily available in terms of parts and the equipment itself
on ebay or other websites.

With all these toys, do you have time for other pursuits?
Thank you.

Hey I have some Nakamichi decks too. got em back in the early 80's. Still love the way they look and sound,and they are in flawless working condition,after almost 25 years of use. I have a NAK.BX300 & NAK.BX125. not quite to the leval of the almighty "DRAGON" but groovy to still have in my system.
