Audio Fantasies

good question. 

My imaginary hifi rack is full of imaginary equipment. 

One reason I read this forum is to see that people do own those beautiful looking and sounding stuff from my imaginary collection.  

Literally nobody does that. Nice job, OP. The responses say everything. Troll post of the year!

I used to. I had a system in mind starting with a pair of Infinity electrostatics, the . Servo Statik 1A. Since that time I'm more interested in quaint little systems for near field listening. Don't think stand-mounted bookshelves, my mono system has 2 twelve inch woofers plus a 12 inch sub.

My fantasy system would be a large dedicated and treated sound room followed by a pair of MBL Extreme speakers and the most expensive MBL amps & preamp.  An Eseteric top of the line SACD player, top line McIntosh tuner and a turntable arm and cartridge for around 100K total, plus all the uber expensive cables and high end audio racks and platforms. I figure around 1 million, give or take.

I found a pair of Anthony Gallo 5LS. Driven by blue circle pre and amp. Fed by BluOS streamer and a michel gyrodec  mkI w/ a Zeta tionearm and Sumiko cart. It took a long time to put together. It’s too bad Gallo went to architectural speakers because the 5LS are something special.  multiple problems with the Gyrodec to get it up to code. Monstrously large soundstage which at time comes a from behind me.
