Amplifier:	Bricasti M12 & Bricasti M25 amp P
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	NVO SPA-One/SE 14 tube phono unit has blown away my KONDO M-7, not even close. This also has beaten my KONDO M1000 MKII which retails for over $90,000 !!!! (Not worth the asking price IMHO). Also sold my Kondo KSL-SFz step-up after 15 years for a S.A. Labs SUT Unbelievable SUT at a fraction of the Kondo SUT. Currently using a CS Port battery phono unit...LOVE IT! Also a Air Tight SUT
Speakers:	Colibri Labs Electrum (makes Acoustic Zen Crescendo's MKII sound broken) (http://www.audiocolibri.com/en/) The main speakers are Franco Serblin Ktema's
Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Bricasti M3 and M12 controller plus new Bricasti M19 CD/SACD player that uses a new IS2 interface
Turntable/Phono Stage:	Sold my Simon Yorke Design S10 (just to pricey and a very hard sell given other tables now on the market at a much lower cost), Air Tight SUT into the battery CS Port phono with an MSL Platinum Signature cartridge, and Kuzma Stabi R with new Safir tonearm. Also have the latest CS Port TAT1M2 air-bearing TT with their AFU-1 air-bearing linear tracking arm.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	S.I.N Audio distributor and Audiomica (IC's, speaker cables and PC's) ALL Kondo cables are now replaced with S.I.N. Audio or Audiomica which is a more "natural" sounding cable and 1/4 the price. Use 2 Furutech Project V1 power cords to round out the system.
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	Mike Fredrickson rack S.I.N. Line Conditioner
Tweaks:	6 Vibraplanes, Shun Mook resonators TMOTL (too many others to list)
Room Size (LxWxH):	26' x 16' x 12'
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, small ensembles
System Goals/Comments:	Not for the performance to be transported into the listening room but for the the listener to be transported into the recording hall.....
System Strengths:	Can listen (and want too) for days on end....
System Weaknesses:	Took too many years to reach my goal, and way too much $$$$. If I only knew 5 years agao what I know now, would be $200,000 richer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
