I have no answers, but it seems like an interesting enterprise. I’d like to set up my Marantz 18 receiver and AR 3a speakers if I had the space. You might like an Ayre QB-9 DSD or QB-9 Twenty DAC from the used market. I have two setups that use Ayre gear, and I really like the sound.
Five year plan: downsizing
OK, I know I need to sort out decades of collecting and keep only the best. Which would you use? Dynaco Mk 3 w preamp, Fisher 400, or Fisher x 101B. Note these all have premium tube mostly OEM and are 110%
Tuner: keep the Richard Modifierri rebuilt Fisher 1000 or the Radio X built Sansui TU X1 ? I will keep the Merrill Heirloom table. No reason to have any of my tape units. I have a good streamer. Oh, wyred4sound dac or the Parasound 2000.
Speakers: we must go with AR 1 and AR 3 ST supertweeters.
So which amplifier set up with which tuner and what dac?
Thanks for your review.
