My System

Description

I am really enjoying this system. Most of it has been acquired over the past year here on Audiogon. I find it very musical and I can listen for hours without fatigue. Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing by not running a balanced CDP since the Ayre gear is balanced. Does anyone have any experience with that decision? I'm also open to all comments on the system. Feel free to point out what you think is missing or should be my next priority.

Thanks!
