Description

This is close to my end game setup.  Next steps are subwoofers and likely upgrade to the Rose RS130 transport--but, equipment is still being interviewed.  

Needless to say, with 60 tubes cooking when all is on you can fry a ribeye.

@kirkwallace  Thanks.  It's taken me 40 years to get here and I'm about to go through a major change by moving away from analog as part of my attempt to simplify my life. 

Regarding the rug, I checked to see if the old paper tag was there.  Alas, it was not.  We've  had it more than 20 years along with several others most of which are folded and stored.  It's made from a tough, soft luxurious wool and we enjoy it, but I've long forgotten where in was knotted.

Lovely system. The (antique?) rug in the foreground also looks very fine. Where was it knotted?

Please show us your interesting system!
