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!

Updated system June. 2012
Finally got round to updating this page.
Added Voyd reference AN1S and Io Gold as planned.
Changed ANS6c for UK ANS8 as it matches my new Pre amp better..... Yes I sold the M7 and replaced with ANUK M5 phono
But the biggest upgrade is the veins of the system. Low capacitance Pallas signal and mains cables throughout. Remarkable!!!!!

Hi Jzach

I don't think you will lose too much with onboard x overs. At least you will gain that natural E sound.

Peter from ANUK will help you with your goal.

Hi Jzach, apologies to you too for delay in reply.

I tried many speakers over the years with many different systems but when I heard what the ANUK speakers can do I felt they were better matched to the SETs and the way they energise a room I have still yet to hear from any other brand...........what happened to your MBL set up?? I thought you replaced everything with them?

best regards
