    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    Finishing up on a totally different system variation, with high powered tube amps, and "non horn" speakers. A big departure for me, but I'm again, blown away right now. Middle: Audio Research VT100 MKII, and/or Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks. Halcyon-Mark Audio floorstanders custom...
