Default Finally...system complete

Well, its been a long road in building the electronics front end that will bring out the best in my Sashas. But yesterday it all came together when I got my new Tron Seven phono stage. Even under 10 hours of break-in, I can tell that it is going to be the best vinyl based system that I have owned (or maybe even heard in anyone's house).

The synergy of the Lamm amps, preamp and Tron phono with the Sashas is exactly what I was looking for. Detailed, dynamic, but above all wonderfully musical. I never knew what reviewers meant when they described Lamm gear as "organic". Now I get it. Singers have life and body, not just images. And the system is more emotionally engaging than anything I have heard before.

Here's the most interesting thing, I bought my amps used through a retailer in the Philly area and as it turns out they were PCH1 (Serge) amps. I didn't know it at the time, but after a couple of emails we sorted it out. That's kind of cool to keep the Lamms in the Wilson family!

Serge, and others, here's some pictures of your amps. Rest assured, they like their new home! Sorry about the crappy cell phone pictures.

Lookin' swanky.

Systems are NEVER complete! You will find something else, soon enough!

I love the way this system has come together and I would REALLY love to hear it.

It is one of the only systems on here that I really think I would want to live with...

The other one has MBL speakers....
