Any hi end audio people here?

[mattjk]

I have an all tube vinyl system.

Final setup:
Audio Research LS15 balanced tube preamp
Audio Research PH3 tube phono preamp
Audio Research VT100 MKII 6550 tube power amp, 100watts per channel.
Michell Gyro SE MKII turntable with modded Rega RB250 arm and Denon DL110 cart.
Acoustat 2+2 medalion Electrostatic speakers. 8ft tall, 2 feet wide.

DIY vacuum record cleaner.

this is my old setup with dynavector cart and preamp. I have the denon cart on it now.

Backup Rega P25 with $3000 Benz Ruby cartridge. What a waste of money that was. $140 denon sounds better.

My DIY Pass Labs Pearl phono preamp. I'm not a solid state fan... I built this thing from all of the rave reviews I read about it. Ended up selling it for a $200 loss Looked nice though when I was finished with it.

Audio Research LS15 tube preamp, Sony ES 400 disc dvd changer for my separate home theater system.

Audio Research PH3. Below that is a newer generation LS16, which I didn't like.

I'll take pics of the tube amp and the 8ft tall electrostat speakers... they look ridiculus in my bedroom.

I do listen to cd's once in a while for background music. That I do through a jvc dvd player feeding a battery powered dac I built with a TDA1545A chip

I wish I had the money to be into high-end audio.

As it stands I have a set of Infinity RS-IIIa speakers with a Yamaha M65 solid state amp and a poopy pre-amp. Looking to possibly pick up an original Aragon 4004 though, we'll see, I've always liked the way it sounded.

Wish I had the money for some quality tube stuff. Oh well, I've got no specific complaints.
