Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had?

I used to have Quad Electrostatics 57 model and twin Lecson AP3 monoblock power amps. So special. My current front end is streets ahead of what I had then though.

I’m sure my gear is one of the most inexpensive setups on this thread, but I’m enjoying it, and the mods helped:

Klipsch Belle Speakers
Mcintosh MX110z pre
Whammerdyne Integrated DGA1 SET amp
Denon 62dp-l turntable
Jena Labs SUT.
Jena labs cables/IC’s

Mods:

ALK crossovers
High end NOS tubes for the amps
Replaced stock power cords/phono cords on TT
Bass traps

Indeed it is!
For my loudspeaker system I've got:
MSB S-200 power amp
MSB 'Analog DAC' preamp/DAC
MSB Universal Transport
Harbeth Super SL5 speakers
Rega P3 turntable (which I'm researching a replacement for right now)
For headphones, it's:
Focal Utopia with upgraded Danacables cable
RME ADI-2 DAC
Quicksilver Audio tube headphone amp....

Fun thread for a change. I would say ’yes’.
Some things I don’t see worth changing for now. Then again, I’ve made a lot of changes the past couple of years and, so far, I haven’t made any missteps. *knock wood*

• Acoustat 1+1s
• RHLabs sub
• +ARC VS110
• +ARC Sp11 Mk2
• +Bluesound Node2i
• +Border Patrol SE-i
• +Hana EL MC cartridge
• Linn LP12 Valhalla/Rabco SL-8
• California Audio Labs Aria CD player
• +Marrow interconnects and speaker cables

+Denotes "new" (ARC gear is new to me)
Happy listening.

Amps are the only thing in the system that I’m absolutely positively certain will never be replaced. Custom 2 x 6BL7 + 4 x KT77 monoblocks (with $7K worth of Dueland caps!) built by master builder Charlie Cocci, old pal of Gary Dodd and Danny Ritchie. Charlie has built hundreds of amps of many designs and heard many amps from other designers...he called these the best sounding amps he’s ever heard. I believe him. They’re certainly the best I’ve ever heard.

I agree, fun thread. Good to see these still pop up once in a while.

And yes, happy listening to all! Play some music on this 3-day President’s Day weekend! :)
