I posted a description of my setup a while back. Since there have been numerous changes, I thought I would make a new post. After almost 40 years, this system embodies the final setup. It brings me great joy to listen nearly every evening.
Analogue: Reed 1c turntable, Tru-Glider arm (with Carbon wrap), DS Audio GrandMaster cartridge. Phono Preamp: DS Audio TB-100 Tube Equalizer.
Digital: DAC: Galle 2 fed by an SWIX VDT for streaming. Occasional CD-based listening using a Denafrips CD transport.
PreAmp: New Audio Frontiers (NAF) Stradavari
Amplification: New Audio Frontiers (NAF) 211 Stradavari Mono-amps
Speakers: Alysvox Tintoretto Power Conditioner: Audience Adept Response and Sourcer.
Interconnects: Hijiri "Million" (digital) and Japanese Audio Note KSL-SPz (analogue and pre-amp).
Speaker Cables: Hemingway "The Creation"
Room Treatment: Multiple and tuned (original treatment arranged through Overture in Wilmington).
I want to thank Dr. Vinyl for many expert visits and my analogue set-up. Thanks to Colin King of Gestalt Audio for the digital front-end (and an invaluable visit).
