I just did this. Got Vandy Treo, Ayre 7-xe, Basis TT with Heed phono and MB Glider. Music Hall 23.5 DAC with balanced audio quest Niagara. Speaker cables are AQ Castle Rock I love what I have. It would cost a lot more to get close to what this is for my ears. Good luck and enjoy. I listened to a ton of gear and bought a system that the dealer knew worked great together for what I wanted.
Start over--HiFi rig ---clean slate
I'm interested in the thoughts of this forum.
All seem to be well read and informed.
IF YOU WERE TO START OVER:
Cost would be a variable and you were to pick the pinnacle of your desires,(& hopefully listened to them) what would it be: Speakers,amp,preamp & source
The format:
1) speaker brand and name
2) amp
3) preamp
4) source
My wish:
1) Thiel cs3.7
Add two velodyne DD-15 subs
2) Devaliet 400 mono-2 ( not listened to)
3) above
4) computer audio- mac with amarra symphony & Dirac IRC
