Description

After years of chasing audio nirvana to me this is my ultimate system.

It combines the best of the east and west with an almost exclusively audio note component set ( I couldn't resist the marvellous Cec transport no matter how good the CDT5 is) and this is the twist in my system.

One final component awaits the record player! It will combine a turntable arm and cartridge from you guessed it, Audio Note components. A Voyd reference ( aka AN TT3 reference that was) with an AN 1s tonearm and AN IO Gold cartridge.

IMHO this system conveys music like no other I have heard.... It also causes sleep depravation as I can't stop listening :)

Happy listening to all you audiogonr's out there!

hi. just came across yr system. you hv a very nice collection of equip. (i too use a Kondo Ongaku amp in my primary system).

curious why you've opted for Kondo Ongaku over ANUK Ongaku (i've never had the chance to compare them side-by-side).

the Pallas cable sounds most interesting. are you using this from CDT to DAC, & TT to SUT?
