    Hi

    I have an AVID DIVA with 2 SME M2-9 arms, Koetsu Onyx and Dynavector 17D3 Cartridges feeding two Whest PS30Rs via 2 Whest DAP10Phono processors into an AVI Lab Series Pre/Power combo. Other sources are AVI Lab Series CD (with Whest DAP10U) and DAB Tuner, Yamaha FM Analogue Tuner and Yamaha Minidisc (with Whest DAP10R in the recording loop for archiving the Vinyl collection to save on expensive needle wear!). Two Isotek G2 Minisub Mains Conditioners, Role Audio Enterprise Speakers with Townshend Supertweeters and REL R250 Sub. Interconnects are all Whest Audio apart from speakers and pre to power which are Atlas Mavros. Mains cables are home made with The Missing Link Silver products. My iMac is connected to the main system via a Fubar USB DACII and Supplier PSU via another Whest DAP10 - Jesus!, don't tell the wife! - and I also have a trusty old pair of Stax Lambdas/SRD7/Moth30 amp for those don't annoy the neighbour moments!

    Oh yes, and the whole thing is now installed in a new bespoke rack made by HiFi Racks Ltd in Rutland - nice one Bradley!!

    Chris

    I've been collecting hi-fi on and off for 15 years and some of these systems are making me cry. I know many of you will say that the most expensive system ain't necessarily the best, but I'm pretty sure that driving a Ferrari or piloting a Lear Jet beats riding a BMX! I would love to hear some of my CD collection on the hi-fi kit gracing these pages..... :)

    Nice system by the way, Christalin!

    Less is more

    I just think it's what you're happy with - regardless of price. And my vinyl engine will trash any CD player on the planet!

    Blue sky thinking... (more corporate gunf) I had to sit in meetings with people talking about KPI's and USP's all day - didn't stop us ending up on the D.O.L.E though!

    Cristalin, your system must weigh the same as a small hatchback! Wish I'd kept my Supertweeters.
