System Goals/Comments:	currently my system is the best it has ever been...with the recent purchase of the tidal contriva-se speakers i have reached a point where i am totally happy with my speakers. i have recently replaced my goldmund 29m amp with chalice audio 'grail' SET monoblocks..they may be ..with the exception of their big brothers...the 'grail' ...the best SET amps available currently....i have not heard them all but have not heard any that compare...most of the few people who have heard them agree...
System Strengths:	the synergy that exists in the system now far exceeds any in the past..the addition of the argento cables and the recently added tidal contriva diacera-se speakers and the chalice audio 'grail' SET monoblocks has taken the system to a level i never thought possible...time to sit back and just listen to the music
